Fantastic news that work inspired by our research has reached such a wide audience. 18,000 visitors is incredible and still a month to go!

[Andrew Carnie @ArtCarnie]

18,000 Visitors so far and a month to run! So Blue Matter, the 4 channel video I made for the CANDO project in Newcastle, in 2020, has new life and a new audience. The World is in You exhibition at the Kunsthal Charlotteborg, Copenhagen, DK is receiving a great deal of attention.

As efforts in implantable brain-machine interfaces progress from basic research to first-in-human studies, clinical and commercial translation will soon become reality. Read about this in our short review article in #COBIOT https://t.co/pMpYyj3NAr @adyrapeaux @imperialngni @UKDRI

[British Neuroscience Association @BritishNeuro]

More from @tgconstandinou @imperialngni about the medical successes of #neural interfaces - from cochlear implants to spinal cord stimulation

🚨New Paper Alert🚨

'A Closed-Loop Optogenetic Platform' has been published in Frontiers of Neuroscience.

It details our open-source system for closed-loop optogenetic neuromodulation.

Available at https://t.co/bEf1rpmbgm

[Patrick Degenaar @Patr1ckDegenaar]

Well done to Dimitris et al for getting our article on closed loop optogenetics published in frontiers in neuroscience.

[CANDO NCL @CandoNcl]

@ArtCarnie Great that this fantastic piece of work will get another public outing.
