Meeting Minutes
Neuroengineering Training Grant
6/27/07

Attendance: Andrew Cassidy, Gabriel Colon, Natan Davidovics, Issel Lim, Misti Marr, Christopher Smith, Aaron Wong, Dr. Nitish Thakor

Training Grant
N. Thakor discussed things to be kept in mind with regards to the Neuroengineering Training Grant. The grant will need to be renewed next May. In particular, progress should be tracked in the following areas: records of individuals on or previously on the grant, things the group is doing that stand out, seminars or journal clubs that NETI members participate in, suggested curriculum tracks, passion-driven initiatives, and faculty participation. To that end, N. Thakor agreed to assist in obtaining funds for the Essay Contest awards.

Sumer Seminar Series
A. Cassidy presented his eye-opening work on “Color Single Opponent Vision Processing.”

Next Meeting
As next Wednesday, July 4th, is a holiday, the next meeting is scheduled for July 11th. G. Colon therefore has an extra week to come up with a presentation!
