Mechanisms underlying neural control of movements.

Lead: Razdan, Anshuman
Sponsor: National Science Foundation 

Abstract

The goal of this program is to introduce Ph.D. students with diverse biological and engineering backgrounds to the challenges of deciphering complex phenomena in neuroscience, biomechanics, rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal morphology, and to foster interdisciplinary education and training in research efforts toward meeting these challenges.
