Neural Engineering

Femtosecond Laser
This laser, shown here running a function test, is used to machine the tips-sensing electrodes to prepare them for coating with synthetic diamond.
Diamond Reactor
A batch of sensing electrodes is coated with synthetic diamond to increase effective durability and life span for chronic use.
WINCS Harmoni
WINCS Harmoni is a combined sensing and electrical stimulation device that can measure and characterize real-time in vivo neurochemical activity changes and use those measurements in a feedback control system to control neurochemical release. When combined with diamond-coated electrodes, this technology forms the basis of the lab's chronic neuromodulation feedback control system.
Neuroimaging
A researcher in the Neural Engineering Lab examines white matter connections in the brain via diffusion tensor imaging, an advanced MRI technique.
