Neuroengineering and Neuromodulation Therapies encompass the utilization and progressive refinement of cutting-edge engineering methodologies to comprehend, engage with, and influence neural connectivity and visual functionality. By pushing the boundaries of our comprehension of fundamental neural attributes, this field actively pursues the creation of innovative compounds that facilitate the manipulation and restoration of impaired cerebral structures, be it in the context of cerebral damage, age-related cognitive decline, neurodegenerative conditions, or neural traumas.

Application Field

• taVNS real-world nerve plasticity training
• Neurodegeneration- Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease
• Neural/vision injuries
• Implantable devices that can effectively alter neural function when it is lost or impaired
• Noninvasive vagus nerve modulation
• Stem cell-based approaches for neuroregeneration
