Neuroengineering

In our dedicated workshop, the Neuroengineering unit design, create and build optical, electrical and mechanical instruments in collaboration with the research labs and expertise centers in support of experimental neuroscience research.

Our mission is to:

• Provide innovative engineering solutions.
• Develop customized solutions that meet specific requirements.
• Integrate multiple disciplines, including optics, electronics, and automation.
• Assist to setup and configure new devices.
• Enable researchers to achieve their scientific goals.

We collaborate with researchers at NeuroElectronics Research Flanders (NERF), a Leuven-based interdisciplinary research center studying neuronal circuits and develop new technologies to link circuit activity to brain function. NERF is a young not-for-profit academic research initiative which aims to inspire scientists to simulate brain networks, but also to lay a scientific framework to develop novel medical applications for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
