Together, we harness technology and generate new knowledge to restore brain function impaired by degeneration and injury.
A novel approach to neuroengineering
Understanding the brain and restoring cognitive function is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. The emergent field of neuroengineering offers promising solutions. To accelerate and catalyze societal impact requires substantial leading-edge and diverse capacities—basic and translational research, clinical access, massive computing, precision engineering, and biomechanics. While a single institution could aim to build each of these capacities, the Center for Neuroengineering (CNE) is taking a different approach: bringing the world’s leading experts across disciplines into an alliance that can do more than any single institution could accomplish on its own. Together, our four partners offer a unique, interdisciplinary approach that is technological, biological, cognitive and clinical.
