Neuroengineering Journal Club at CSULA

INTRODUCTION

Neuroengineering is an interdisciplinary field applying engineering principles to understand how neural systems work and to develop technology which will ultimately interface with the nervous system. There are a number of faculty whose research interests lie in this domain. We are a group of researchers with neuroscience, electrical engineering, kinesiology, and biomechanics interests and backgrounds. The goal of this journal club is to stay abreast of current research topics in these areas and help students gain the background knowledge necessary to do current research in these areas.
