Giovanni Talei Franzesi

[Email: geggio, followed by @media.mit.edu ]

Nic obtained multiple degrees from MIT (B.S., M.Eng, M. S.) and is now working on technologies and scientific approaches for studying neural synchrony, its control, and potential applications of such insights to neuroengineering and psychiatry, as well as on novel neural interfacing devices.
