On the 16th of November, 10 year
11 students including myself, attended a lecture by Dr Iasonas F. Triantis from
the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, City University London
The lecture he gave was entitled, "Implantable Neuroprosthetics: Talking with
Neurons for Diagnosis and Therapy". The lecturer spoke about how electronics can
help people with paralysis and even people with mental disorders such as
bipolar. We were also able to view new research (only 5 days old) which showed
how new electronic developments were able to restore leg movement in a formerly
paralysed patient, something that was thought to be impossible before then. The
lecture inspired all of us to consider a career which will allow us to be
creative as well as articulate, which is what bioengineering is all about. After
the lecture we all left spell-bound and excited about the prospect of going
into something as meaningful as bioengineering. We are grateful that Ms Krunic
and Mr Patterson gave us the opportunity to go to this lecture and we hope to
go to many more!
