BU BME neural engineering faculty build molecular and photonic tools to study the brain; investigate the quantitative neurophysiology underlying brain and nervous-system function in humans and other species; develop computational models that guide our understanding of brain function; work to understand and treat neurological disorders; and advance methods by which we can help repair the brain and restore neurological function in patients.
Activities in neural engineering take advantage of BU’s great strength in photonics and imaging, basic neuroscience, data sciences and computing, neurology, and cell-and-tissue engineering.
