Over the years, the UC San Diego Integrated Systems Neuroengineering (ISN) Laboratory has pioneered and refined the engineering of micropower silicon integrated circuits. Inspired by the efficiency and functional organization of brain circuits, we are increasingly forging closer connections with neurobiology and making inroads in interfacing to biological neural systems on larger and finer scale for remediating neurological disease and advancing the understanding of cognitive brain function.
These dynamical interfaces between living and artificial nervous systems offer tremendous opportunities for transformative, integrative neuroscience and neuroengineering that are the focus of continued research in the Cauwenberghs laboratory, in collaboration with partners in academia, industry, and the clinical sector.
