  • Krishna Shenoy, the founder of the Neural Prosthetics Systems lab, passed away on January 21 after a decade-long struggle with pancreatic cancer. His legacy continues on in the work being done in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Lab
  • Krishna elected to be an IEEE Fellow (11/21/22) with the citation:
    • For contributions to cortical control of movement and brain-computer interfaces

2022

  • Krishna elected to the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) with the citation:
    • For making seminal contributions both to basic neuroscience and to translational and clinical research. His work has shown how networks of motor cortical neurons operate as dynamical systems, and he has developed new technologies to provide new means of restoring movement and communication to people with paralysis.
