In the Neural Engineering Center, we also focus our research on neural computation and control. Modeling of neural systems such as brain or peripheral nervous systems are powerful tools for the ...

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...

Planarians are flatworms that have a simple central nervous system (CNS) but an extraordinary ability to regenerate neural tissue. Their CNS is divided into distinct molecular and functional domains ...

A recent review article in Bone Research examines the role of skeletal interoception in bone health and evaluates biomaterials designed to interact with this system to improve bone regeneration. The ...
