New neurotechnology training program takes students to the extremes and invites industry into the classroom – UCalgary

NSERC investment will catapult the growth of neurotechnology innovation in Calgary

From sleep apnea to stroke, spinal cord injury or the impact of working in extreme environments, our understanding of brain function and performance is making rapid advancements thanks in part to the large and growing neurotechnology industry. Novel tools such as advanced sub-cellular imaging, machine learning, drug discoveries and new brain-machine interfaces allow us to measure, monitor and manipulate brain-regulated physiological functions like never before.

BRAIN CREATE, a new neurotechnology training program for undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral scholars at the University of Calgary, will harness and build on those advances. The program is working in collaboration with industry to create jobs, grow the neurotechnology sector and facilitate innovative research.
