What is the Forum?
CIMIT® is a catalyst for the application of technology to healthcare. The focus is to bring together scientists and engineers working at the frontiers of high technology with clinicians who are at the forefront of medicine. The Forum is a vital tool for creating these collaborations, leading to new devices and procedures that will be used to the benefit of patients.
The goal of the CIMIT Forum is to promote the exchange of ideas and information between diverse communities, and to provide an arena where interdisciplinary discussion can lead to breakthroughs in biomedical engineering and ultimately patient care. Dialogue is an important part of opening doors for education and collaboration. The audience is a diverse group of practitioners and researchers, including clinicians, engineers, educators, scientists, and administrators.
CIMIT Summer Education Series 2007
Neurotechnology: Translating Basic Discoveries
into Clinical Promise
Thank you for making the Summer Education Series 2007 a huge success.
Neurotechnology is one of the most exciting areas in health care today, because it has the potential to revolutionize many areas of clinical practice. Brain disorders cost billions of dollars to society and cause untold human misery to patients and their families. Recent developments in engineering and neuroscience may reduce the suffering and restore function and quality of life to persons affected by these disorders. Hosted by CIMIT and the MIT McGovern Institute Neurotechnology (MINT) Program, CIMIT Summer Education Series 2007 convened prominent engineers, neuroscientists and neurologists to update the CIMIT Community on recent developments in neurotechnology and to stimulate further progress in this dynamic and interdisciplinary field.
