About MIT BrainTrust

	MIT BrainTrust is student-run service organization, dealing with patients with any kind of brain-related conditions. We host events including panels, community parties, and an annual course 9 mixer. We also educate the community about the brain and brain-related disorders through Brain Injury Awareness booths, and classes during SPLASH. Our goal is to provide students and other members of the MIT community interested in such topics as cognitive science, medicine, assistive technology, cognitive or neurological prosthetics, or Internet sociology with real world opportunities to apply their knowledge. Members’ efforts directly help people living with neurological abnormalities from aneurysm to xanthroastrocystoma. Participants expand their understanding of such disorders and new technologies being developed to help people who suffer from them. We work closely with The Healing Exchange BRAIN TRUST, a Cambridge-based non-profit organization. T.H.E. BRAIN TRUST’s essential mission is to make the experience of having a brain tumor or other neurological disorder less horrific by helping people communicate about support issues, medical topics and research.
