NeuroEngineering at UCLA

The UCLA Brain Research Institute (BRI), the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have joined forces in a major new educational program, the UCLA-JPL NeuroEngineering Training (NET) Program. This cooperative effort is perhaps unique in that it encourages students to work at the relatively underdeveloped but fertile interface between engineering and neuroscience.

NET Ph.D. students take a curriculum designed to encourage cross-fertilization of the two fields. The goal is that neuroscientists and engineers learn to speak each others' language and move comfortably among the intellectual domains of the two fields.
