Activities

Graduate Education Program that provides interdisciplinary education and research training at the intersection of neuroscience and engineering, on core areas including Neurotechnology and Computational Tools, Cognitive Neuroengineering, Prosthetics and Human-Machine Interfaces, and Human Performance and Rehabilitation.

NeuralStorm fellowships and activities are funded by the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program (NSF Award number: 2152260) and philanthropic donations. 

PI: Karen Moxon, PhD

Co-PIs: Gene Gurkoff, PhD, Wilsaan Joiner, PhD, Xin Liu, PhD, Erkin Seker, PhD

The Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine seminar is on the first Wednesday of each month during the academic year (except second Wednesday in January 2025) at 4:10pm.

We are honored to host distinguished faculty speakers from top universities and research institutions (generally US-based but not exclusively). The community of faculty and students propose speakers during the Winter quarter and the center's Steering Committee reviews speakers and determines the final list. 

For questions, please contact Gabriela Lee at gmlee@ucdavis.edu. 

Listed under Upcoming Events and Past Events. Recordings available for select presentations under Events > Past Events.

Graduate students, postdocs, other junior researchers discuss publications authored by the invited speaker for the upcoming monthly seminar.  Neuroengineering Seminar+ is scheduled on the Monday before the first Wednesday of each month during the academic year (except second Wednesday in January), at 4:10pm.

Faculty lead: Karen Moxon, PhD. For questions, please contact Vincent Tran, vcttran@ucdavis.edu 

Listed under Upcoming Events as soon as dates and presenters are confirmed.

Graduate students, postdocs, other junior researchers give 15-minutes presentations about their research to a community of peers and faculty, on all topics related to engineering, neuroscience, and their combined applications in medical fields. 

Students and others interested in presenting should contact professor Jonathon Schofield at jschofield@ucdavis.edu to sign up. 

Faculty leads: Jonathon Schofield, PhD and Mark Fedyk, PhD
