CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, MIT Technology Review releases its annual list of Innovators Under 35 (www.technologyreview.com/lists/innovators-under-35). Since 1999, the global media company has annually recognized exceptionally talented young technologists whose work illustrates the most important emerging technologies of the moment.
This year's list features several people who are figuring out in detail how the brain works and how we might stave off mental disorders. Others are unearthing knowledge about cancer that might open new avenues for treatment. Innovators in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence are showcased, along with people who are cleverly taking advantage of the falling cost of sensors and bandwidth.

The selection process begins with hundreds of nominations from the public, MIT Technology Review editors, and international partners who publish Innovators Under 35 lists in their regions. The editors pare the list to about 80 people, who submit descriptions of their work and letters of reference. Then outside judges rate the finalists on the originality and impact of their work; that feedback helps the editors choose this group.
This year's honorees will be featured online at technologyreview.com starting today, and in the September/October print magazine, which hits newsstands worldwide on Sept. 1. They will also appear in person at the upcoming EmTech MIT conference, to be held Nov. 2–4 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (www.EmTechMIT.com).
