Welcome to the Neural Systems Engineering Lab headed by Dr. Karim Oweiss. Our mission is to advance basic Neuroscience research to better understand how our nervous system works and to translate this understanding to clinical applications to better serve human welfare. We engineer implantable microsystems and develop advanced methods to monitor, process and analyze brain activity at the single cell, population, and circuit levels in awake, behaving subjects. Feel free to browse the current projects and publications list to learn more details about our research.
Signal processing and statistics have been playing a crucial role in neuroscience and neural engineering research.
A new R01 grant was recently awarded to the Oweiss lab to design and build a fully implantable, wireless and distributed interface to the cortex.
Dr Karim Oweiss was invited by Dr Nicho Hatsopoulos at the University of Chicago to speak as part of the Center for Integrative Neuroscience and Neuroengineering
He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering (Computer & Systems Engineering Department) from Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 2003 and 2006.
