So great to have everyone together in Portland last week for our CAMBI retreat, with partners from Northeastern U., Michigan Tech, University of Washington, and OHSU News. What an incredible team, and an incredible opportunity to learn from each other and think about the future of #BCI for #AAC!

One of these recently funded projects will look at patient preference information studies focused on #BCI for people with #ALS - very cool!

Next week the NIH will hold an ALS Strategic Planning meeting to determine the direction of ALS research. The event is open to the public, and PALS, researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders are invited to attend and provide input. See als-strategic-plan.com for details

“Some people say that what I did changed the world,” Judy Heumann wrote. “But really, I simply refused to accept what I was told about who I could be. And I was willing to make a fuss about it.” ❤️ disabilityscoop.com/2023/03/07/mot…
