Congrats to @zixiao_yin @b_hollunder @NicoleProvenza . Amazing presentations from our top 6 finalists, wonderful science from the next generation of neuromodulation experts! Look forward to seeing these rising stars next year at the DBS Think Tank XIII!
Rising Star Challenge for the @DBSThinkTank winners announced live TODAY from a highly competitive field. These projects were 'off the charts' for novelty and creativity and all were brilliant. From BGOOSE to Connectomics to predicting OCD outcomes the future is bright. These three stars have won the golden ticket to attend the 2025 Think Tank and top 2 cash awards too. BRAVO.
