In this first-ever video message, Currents Editor-in-Chief Michael Reznik delivers his August update, introducing the new tech section editor, Nilufer Yalcin. In her first article, Yalcin kicks off her tech contribution with a focus on brain-computer and brain-machine interfaces with co-author Shalane Morales-Nunez. An accompanying piece from Benjamin Rapoport, MD, PhD, and Jackie Dister dives deeper into an emerging brain-computer interface. Additionally, Alex Hansen and Eric Lawson recap April’s NCS Twitter Journal Club, highlighting a study on surrogate decision-making for stroke patients. The video also previews a two-part Story of Hope from Tara Wall, Daryl C. McHugh, and Jenna Gonillo Davis about a police officer’s recovery from sudden cardiac arrest.
