Neural Engineering solves problems that arise from neurological disorders by interfacing directly with the nervous system. Applying techniques from mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, our research seeks to understand, interface with, and control the nervous system. Teams start with basic science research, and translate that knowledge in to development of tools to solve clinical problems associated with nervous system dysfunction.
