“Everyone deserves an unrestricted life. Restoring freedom through brain–computer interfaces, AI, smart exoskeletons, and other neuroengineering innovations can help provide breakthrough treatments to people with neurological conditions. At the IUCRC BRAIN – a leading industry-university-government partnership – industry members collaborate with world class researchers at premier institutions worldwide to advance the state of the art in neurotechnology.
A modest investment into BRAIN membership gives industry members the leverage and big returns that would not be possible otherwise. We get to work side by with billion-dollar neurotech firms, interact with federal regulatory agencies, hire highly skilled students, have a say in selecting cutting edge projects, have the choice to commercialize novel devices and be a part of the neurotechnology revolution: Neuroengineered for What’s is Next.”
