Events
CNI hosts several recurring events throughout the year as well as multiple social events and presentations:
- CNI seminars: these seminars feature a presentation by an internal or an external speaker, and are held biweekly on Tuesdays at 12pm, typically in Barchi library (140 John Morgan Building). The organizing committee consists of Maria Geffen, Jared Collina, Kara McGaughey, Juvenal Bosulu and Ron diTullio. There is an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to have lunch with the speaker — please email Jessica Marcus (jmarcus@upenn) to sign up for a spot.
- CNI +/-: weekly journal club sessions and research seminars, for and by graduate students and postdocs affiliated with CNI. No faculty allowed! Sessions are held on Thursdays 5-6pm in room 427 Goddard Labs, and the organizer is Emily Meyer. Please fill out this form to join the mailing list.
- CNI-BMI journal club: a monthly journal club and research seminar series that brings together students and faculty across departments to discuss advances in brain machine interfaces (BMIs).
