Their multidisciplinary research concentrates on enhancing neurophysiological applications through innovative technologies, quantitative methods, and computational approaches in motor function, robotics, respiration, and brain-machine interfaces. Faculty from the College of Medicine and the School of Biomedical Engineering collaborate in this highly interdisciplinary field (additional details can be found in the Neuroengineering Initiative). The Neuroengineering tracks within both the Neuroscience program and the School of Biomedical Engineering PhD programs offer pathways into this evolving discipline. The neuroscience-focused track highlights the application of cutting-edge technologies, quantitative analysis, and computational methods in neuroscience and neurophysiology.
Drexel's neuroscience research groups stand out due to their deep knowledge in fundamental neurosciences, computational modeling of pattern generators and reflex systems, spinal motor prosthesis development, cortical motor/sensory prosthesis innovation, brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), and neurorobotics. This program integrates groundbreaking neuroprosthetic techniques for intraspinal, limbic, and cortical prostheses with therapeutic strategies for brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation in rodent models.
