Nanoneuronics: New Paradigms for Nervous System Interfaces

patrick rousche伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校该项目为爱尔兰都柏林三一学院、北爱尔兰约旦城阿尔斯特大学和德国弗赖堡大学的访问计划提供支持。美国首席研究员是来自芝加哥伊利诺伊大学的Patrick Rousche。外国合作者是爱尔兰的Michael Coey，北爱尔兰的James McLaughlin和德国的Thomas Stieglitz。这些访问的目的是组建一个国际多学科团队，以创建、实施和培养一个新的研究领域，研究人员称之为“纳米神经学”。他们将纳米神经学定义为一门新的学科，其目标是利用纳米技术、神经科学、电子工程、神经工程和伦理学的协作能力和知识，设计和开发先进的神经系统医疗干预措施。这项工作的主要研究目标是将纳米技术结合起来，以改善神经系统中植入的医疗设备。更广泛的影响包括国际合作；通过在两个主要工业国家的先进领域提供早期国际合作工作的职业介绍，培训美国研究生；促进互利的合作关系。

OISE 09-59233Patrick RouscheUniversity of Illinois at ChicagoThis project provides support for planning visits to Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, the University of Ulster at Jordanstown in Northern Ireland and the University of Freiburg in Germany. The US principal investigator is Patrick Rousche from the University of Illinois at Chicago. The foreign collaborators are Michael Coey in Ireland, James McLaughlin in Northern Ireland and Thomas Stieglitz in Germany. The purpose of these visits is to form an international multi-disciplinary team to create, implement, and foster a novel field of study the researchers call ?nanoneuronics.? They define nanoneuronics as a new discipline with the goal of harnessing the collaborative power and knowledge of nanotechnology, neuroscience, electrical engineering, neural engineering and ethics for the design and development of advanced medical interventions with the nervous system. The primary research goal of this effort will be the incorporation of nanotechnology towards the improvement of implanted medical devices in the nervous. Broader impacts include the international cooperation; training of U.S. graduate students by providing an early career introduction to collaborative international work in advanced areas in two leading industrial countries; and promotion of a mutually beneficial collaborative relationship.
