Who is this for?
Are you a high school student interested in becoming an engineer or scientist? Do the fields of neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, and biomedical research fascinate you? Do you have a relative in the Seattle area you could stay with and have a way to get to UW on a daily basis? If you answered yes to these questions, then you could spend your summer as a student researcher at the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE) on the University of Washington’s Seattle campus.
Young Scholars will:
- Work in a lab alongside a team of researchers conducting neural engineering research.
- Receive mentoring from a graduate student.
- Learn a variety of skills, which may include MATLAB, computer programming, lab safety, bioethics, technical communication, and scientific presentation.
- Participate in our Summer Research Symposium.
- Be paid a $4,500 stipend for the 9 week program.
What is the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering?
The CSNE develops innovative modes of human-computer interaction by connecting brains with technology. We study signals from the brain, use that information to cause an action–such as moving a prosthetic hand or computer cursor–and provide useful information back to the brain. Our research is aimed at significantly improving the quality of life for people with spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other disabilities. By designing closed-loop neural-interactive systems we hope to help restore mobility as well as sensory and motor functions.
