The Neuroengineering Track (previously known as Neural Interfaces) educates students in fundamental and practical neuroscience along with neuroengineering. It aims to apply engineering methods to address neurological disorders while also exploring biological nervous system strategies for solving conventional engineering challenges. Faculty in Biomedical Engineering specializing in Neuroengineering investigate diverse areas such as electrical neural interfaces, neuroprosthetic devices, neural tissue delivery systems, neural regeneration engineering, brain adaptability, sensory and motor system neural encoding, brain imaging techniques, and alternative neural stimulation approaches like focused ultrasound and magnetic fields. Participants in this track should possess a broad understanding of both theoretical and applied neuroscience principles.

Qualification Requirements
Unofficial copies of transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
Applicants must have received, prior to commencing graduate study, a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institute, college, or university. Although no single field of undergraduate specialization is required, applicants to the program must have a thorough undergraduate background in engineering and life sciences. They are expected to have mastered basic material in the following areas:
mathematics (calculus through differential equations)
physics (college physics with calculus including mechanics and electronics)
chemistry (organic and/or biochemistry)
materials science (introductory course or strength of materials)
biology (introductory human anatomy or physiology)
All aspects of an application will be seriously considered during the evaluation process. However, typically successful applicants have a cumulative GPA that meets or exceeds ~3.5 and GRE scores of ~156 verbal, ~165 quantitative, ~4 analytical writing. International students should have a minimum composite TOEFL score of 90 on the internet-based test. However, students with composite TOEFL scores below 100 (internet-based test) may be required to enroll in English classes. The Department will also accept a minimum 7.5 IELTS score or 125 DUOLINGO score in lieu of the TOEFL.
