Research Objectives and Approaches: The objective of this research is to bridge engineering and natural sciences in an inter-disciplinary collaboration, which will enhance course instruction and research projects across disciplines. The approach is to acquire a state-of-art biopotential instrumentation system that allows the PIs to enhance their collaboration in more advanced research projects with students.Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of the proposal is centered on enhancing a facility that will foster the interaction between the faculty and students in science and engineering to plan and conduct research. This interaction will allow its members to work as a team of scientists and engineers across disciplines, and to interpret and communicate research findings in both peer-reviewed journal publications and at national conferences.Broader Impacts: The broader impacts will be to effectively integrate education and research; enhance scientific and technical understanding, and engage in research that can benefit society. The outcome of this research is aimed at developing new devices and/or new treatments to improve the quality of life of individuals suffering from neurological disorders. This collaboration is being conducted by under-represented minorities at different stages of professional development, who have demonstrated a track record of engaging under-represented minority students in research in the natural sciences and engineering. This equipment will be utilized to continue improving the research projects from their successful collaborations and allow students to conduct research and independent study projects. Through a data-sharing plan, peer-institutions will be able to access the data collected with this equipment for other projects.

研究目标和方法：这项研究的目标是在跨学科合作中连接工程学和自然科学，这将加强跨学科的课程教学和研究项目。其方法是获得最先进的生物电势仪器系统，使私人投资机构能够在更高级的研究项目中加强与学生的合作。智力优势：该提案的智力价值集中在加强设施，促进科学和工程领域的教职员工和学生之间的互动，以计划和进行研究。这种互动将使其成员能够作为一个跨学科的科学家和工程师团队工作，并在同行评议的期刊出版物和国家会议上解释和交流研究成果。更广泛的影响：更广泛的影响将是有效地将教育和研究结合在一起；增进科学和技术理解，并从事有益于社会的研究。这项研究的结果旨在开发新的设备和/或新的治疗方法，以改善神经疾病患者的生活质量。这种合作是由处于职业发展不同阶段的代表不足的少数群体进行的，他们在吸引代表不足的少数群体学生参与自然科学和工程学研究方面表现出了良好的记录。这些设备将被用来继续改进他们成功合作的研究项目，并允许学生进行研究和独立学习项目。通过一项数据共享计划，同行机构将能够为其他项目获取使用该设备收集的数据。
