Ruggero Scorcioni is one of our neuroscience PhD alumni. We’re proud of him for other reasons, but here’s his latest brilliant success: he’s the winner of the AT&T hacakthon in Vegas! The story is here. Money quote:
At 41, he has had plenty of time to research brain wave science as well as write computer programs. After receiving a degree in computer science in his native Italy, Scorcioni came to the U.S. 12 years ago to earn a PhD from George Mason University in Virginia in neuroscience.
Kudos to Ruggero and his thesis advisor Giorgio Ascoli!
