Dear Colleagues,



This year's FENS-SfN neuroscience summer school on *Brain reading and
writing: new perspectives of neurotechnology* will take place on 2-8 June
in Bertinoro, Italy. We would like to invite you to have a look at the
programme below.

*School Programme Description*

During this school, we will discuss the intracortical methods being
developed for reading from, and writing to, the brain. A set of
international lectures will provide an overview of the emerging therapeutic
applications made possible with this technology. In addition to being

computational approaches to facilitate brain-device communication. We will
discuss some of the interesting ethical ramifications of a
neuro-technologically assisted future.
