There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Chethan Pandarinath has won a Director's New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health to use artificial intelligence tools to create brain-machine interfaces that function with unprecedented speed and accuracy, decoding in real-time what the brain is the telling the body to do. The aim is to reconnect the brain and body for patients paralyzed from strokes, spinal cord injuries, or ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. (Photo: Jack Kearse)
