The Neural Engineering Center is a coordinated group of scientists and  engineers dedicated to research and education in an area at the interface between neuroscience and engineering. They share the common goal of analyzing the function of the  nervous system, developing methods to restore damaged   neurological function, and creating artificial neuronal systems by integrating  physical, chemical, mathematical and engineering tools. 

       The center offers breadth and depth in Neural Engineering research and education in a highly ranked biomedical engineering department and medical school. The center is located on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. The center faculty collaborate with clinicians from four major hospitals,  University Hospitals, Cleveland Clinic, VA Hospital and MetroHealth Hospital.
