Case Western Reserve University students—especially at the graduate level—can take advantage of a variety of educational opportunities and coursework through the Neural Engineering Center.
Philosophy
Students involved in the neural engineering program learn to describe and understand the mechanisms underlying neuronal function and to explore and develop technology for interfacing, imaging and growing neural tissue.
Goal
The goal is to educate neural engineers and scientists to bridge the gap between advances in neuroscience and in mathematics, physics and engineering by integrating neuroscience and engineering education and research and education.
Vision
This educational program will develop a new breed of researchers with powerful tools to face the formidable task of understanding and simulating brain function as well as designing brain-machine interfaces.
