Author Information

Davide Valeriani received his PhD from the University of Essex in 2017, with a thesis on collaborative brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). His main research interests are in the development of neural and wearable technologies to enhance human capabilities and improve human health. Dr. Valeriani has significantly contributed to the field of BCIs by authoring over 50 scientific publications and serving in the editorial board of several scientific journals. He is also a board member of the BCI Society, a leading international organization to promote research in brain-computer interfaces with members in over 24 countries, where he also served as the Young Talent Committee chair for their 10th annual meeting. Theresa Vaughan has over 30 years of experience developing and translating brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for communication and control. In 2006, she co-founded the Center for Translational Neurological Research (CTNR), a partnership between the Wadsworth Center and the Helen Hayes Rehabilitation Hospital. Between 2011 and 2014, she coordinated the first translational studies to establish BCI’s ability to improve the lives of people with advanced ALS. In 2015, she co-founded the International BCI Society, where she currently serves as a board member. She continues her BCI research at the National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies at the Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York.
