- Interface with the nervous system with Dr. D.G. Muratore
Dr. Dante G. Muratore followed a unquie path during his scientific career, he started as an Microelectronics Ph.D. then moved into neuroscience for his Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University and started his lab at Delft University of Technology exploring how to interface the nervous systen with microelectronics. Come journey with us through his career and explore how scientists are pushing forward to understand how our visual and nervous systems work.
