Engineering technology to restore function for people with neurological disabilities.
The Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses is a collaborative enterprise of UCSF and the University of California, Berkeley. The center brings together experts in engineering, neurology and neurosurgery to develop state-of-the-art biomedical technology to restore function for patients with neurological disabilities such as paralysis and speech disorders.
& UCSF
Restoring sensory, motor and cognitive function.
Across our projects we apply the latest approaches in data science, electrical engineering, neuroscience, and an array of clinical specialties to develop ground-breaking solutions for patients.
Engineering and clinical neuroscience, side by side.
Since its inception in 2010, CNEP has supported an unparalleled community of collaborative neural engineering researchers across UCSF and UC Berkeley. We foster cross-disciplinary collaborations, enable data and technology exchanges, and support top-tier training for the next generation of neural engineering innovators.
Co-directed from both campuses.
Chair of Neurological Surgery at UCSF and a founding director of CNEP. Pioneer of real-time speech decoding through brain-computer interfaces.
Biography
Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Professor of Bioengineering and Neuroscience at UC Berkeley. His lab builds wireless neural recording and imaging technologies to study the brain during natural behavior.
BiographyA world-class team.
More than two dozen faculty members from top institutions collaborating to harness the power of the human brain.
One community, two campuses, one room.
CNEP's annual meetings bring together a dynamic community of researchers, engineers, clinicians, and trainees from UC Berkeley and UCSF to share ideas and spark new collaborations. At our most recent gathering, over 100 participants came together to present work spanning basic science, cutting-edge engineering, and translational neuroscience.
