Neuroengineering Fall Seminar
N. Thakor suggested that we select two afternoons to offer the seminar, in order to obtain a greater participation on the part of the clinical faculty. It was decided that two successive Wednesdays would be ideal to start, with the day possibly being changed based on faculty availability. Each speaker will have about 20 to 30 minutes to present. To garner the greatest student participation, the seminars will be held at 1pm after med school classes conclude for the day, and lunch will be provided. L. Johnson is currently working to coordinate the seminar.

Summer Seminar Series
L. Johnson’s presentation on Auditory Neurophysiology: Developing a New Animal Model for the Cochlear Implant provided those present with much aural pleasure. Next week, I. Lim will be presenting, followed by a short summary of NETI student research for the benefit of incoming students.
