Students involved in the center will learn
to describe and understand the mechanisms
underlying neuronal function and to explore
and develop means to interface the nervous
system with the outside world. The faculty
participating in this new program use a
combination of basic science and engineering
approaches. These faculty members are
therefore recruited from several departments
in the Medical, Arts and Sciences, and
Engineering schools of Case Western Reserve
University as well as University Hospitals,
MetroHelath Medical Center, the Veteran
Administration Hospital and the Cleveland
Clinic.
The major goal of the educational program of the center is to provide engineering and life science students interested in neural engineering with a solid background in not only molecular, cellular and system neuroscience but also in instrumentation, signal processing, computational neuroscience, neuro-imaging and modeling. The goal is to educate neural engineers and scientists to bridge the gap between advances of neuroscience and in mathematics, physics and engineering. This new interdisciplinary educational program will develop a new breed of researchers with powerful tools to face the formidable task of understanding and simulating brain function and the designing brain-machine interfaces.
