Work is conducted collaboratively between laboratories in the Departments of Neurobiology & Anatomy, and Pharmacology & Physiology in the College of Medicine, and Drexel University's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, and off-campus colleagues. Finally we explore brain-machine interfaces and neurorobotics in rodent models using multi-electrode recording (Dr. Third, we examine cortical encoding and functional plasticity using multi-electrode recording, optical imaging, optogenetics and microstimulation in spinal cord injury models (Dr. Giszter and Dougherty), or other less invasive stimulation methods (Dr.
A second goal is to develop neuroprosthetics for treatment of spinal cord injury and movement disorders using neural microstimulation, epidural stimulation, viral therapies and optogenetic controls (Drs. Giszter and Dougherty), and models in comparative neurobiology (Drs. Rybak, Ausborn and Danner), spinal cord injury models (Drs. Giszter and Danner), Hodgkin-Huxley and other types of models (Drs. First, there is an emphasis on understanding spinal motor control using basic neurophysiology, models and biomechanics (Drs. Research efforts focus on a range of topics. Building interfaces to the nervous system and building brain-machine interfaces (BMI) provides novel circuit analysis tools for neuroscience, and enables novel prosthetics, novel rehabilitation methods and novel human interfaces for augmented function. Researchers in this area draw from the fields of bioengineering, robotics, neural networks, neural engineering, biomechanics, neuroprosthetics, neurorobotics, information theory and coding principles in spike trains, population coding in neural representations, computational neuroscience, neural simulation and modeling, and "wet" electrophysiology and neurophysiology. The research program in neuroengineering seeks to use engineering and physical science principles to understand the nervous system's circuit operation and build novel devices to interface with this circuitry.
