Explore the frontier of brain-focused technology with leading voices in focused ultrasound (FUS) and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) 🧠🦾⚙️💻. Learn how FUS is being used to treat neurological conditions non-invasively, how BCIs are restoring communication and movement, and where these two fields are heading 😯

​Join us for a seminar bringing together pioneers in neuromodulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), magnetic resonance-guided FUS, and neuro-engineering, including:

​🧠 Dr. Alfonso Fasano, a movement disorders neurologist and clinician-scientist at Toronto Western Hospital and SickKids. He holds the Chair in Neuromodulation and Multi-Disciplinary Care at the University of Toronto.
🔊 Dr. David Goertz, a biomedical physicist investigating focused ultrasound at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
🤖 Dr. Roman Genov, an ECE principal investigator for brain-chip interfaces, neuro-stimulators, image sensors, and molecular biosensors at the KITE Research Institute.
⚡ Jonas Krauß, a visiting PhD Candidate from Universitätsklinikum Bonn (Germany) studying neural modulation and lesion therapies for movement disorders.

👉 Stay tuned for our speakers post and presentation titles reveal tomorrow!

​No prior neuroscience or engineering background is required. Undergraduate, graduates students, and clinicians from all programs and years are welcome.

THE WAIT IS OVER! After weeks of you asking, our project recruitment cycle is here. PROJECT IRIS RECRUITMENT IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! 👁️✨

We are looking for passionate students ready to build cutting-edge neurotech. IRIS (Intention Recognition via Interocular Signals) is an EOG-based communication system designed to restore speech and independence for patients with ALS and locked-in syndrome. Through eye movement tracking and deliberate blinks, we’re creating wearable technology that gives patients their voice back. 🦾🧠

Applications are open for Hardware⚙️, Software💻, and Neuroscience🧠! Make sure to check out our IRIS Recruitment Guide for more details on roles, responsibilities, and project architecture.

Deadline:
⏰ Friday, October 09 11:59 PM EST
🔗 Application Form is linked in our bio!

We look forward to seeing your applications and are very excited to welcome passionate students to this life-changing project.

⚡ THE WAIT IS OVER! After weeks of you asking, our annual project announcements are finally here. PROJECT FOCUS RECRUITMENT IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! 🧠✨

We are looking for passionate students ready to build transformative neurotech. FOCUS (Framework for Observing Concentration Using Signals) is an EEG-based neurofeedback system designed to help ADHD patients and learners maintain focus through real-time attention detection and haptic feedback. We’re creating technology that catches attention drift before it happens keeping users in the zone when it matters most. 💪⚡

Applications are open for Hardware⚙️, Software💻, and Neuroscience🧠! Make sure to check out our FOCUS Recruitment Guide for more details on roles, responsibilities, and project architecture.

📢 Workshop two of NeurotechUofT’s Fall Workshop Series is here, and this one is completely hands-on. 🦾⚡

Ever wondered how sensors can translate human movement into machine movement?

Join Ahmed Omran, our very own Hardware Director and a Mechanical Engineering student currently on PEY at Baylis Medical Technologies, to build a gyroscope-controlled mini-arm from scratch.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, Arduino programming, and motion control then connect everything to bring your mini-arm to life. This is just a taste to what you could be doing as a subsystem team member with us at NeurotechUofT!

👉 Open to NeurotechUofT members and non-members. No hardware, electronics, Arduino, or programming experience required.

📅 September 24, 6–7:30 PM
📍 Bahen Centre for Information Technology, BA2155

Space is limited as there are ONLY 45 SPOTS, registration is first come, first served. Sign up through the link in our bio before spots are gone! 🏎️💨

🧠 NeurotechUofT’s first published research article is here! 🎉

We’re proud to share a major milestone for our team with the publication of our first peer-reviewed review article:

“Non-Invasive Wearable Systems for Parkinsonian Tremor Suppression: A Review of Machine Learning Monitoring and Hardware Modulation Pipelines.”

This publication explores how machine learning and non-invasive wearable technologies are being used to monitor and suppress Parkinsonian tremors, while highlighting the exciting opportunities and remaining challenges of integrating intelligent software with therapeutic hardware.

The paper also showcases NeuronMove, one of NeurotechUofT’s flagship projects focused on advancing wearable neurotechnology for Parkinson’s disease.

As a student-led organization, this publication reflects the dedication, collaboration, and curiosity of our members. It’s an exciting first step in our research journey, and we look forward to continuing to contribute to the future of neurotechnology through innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scientific discovery.

Congratulations to all of our authors on this achievement we’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished! 💜
