Bioelectronics is the application of electrical engineering principles to biology, medicine, behavior or health. It advances the fundamental concepts, creates knowledge for the molecular to the organ systems levels, and develops innovative devices or processes for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.
Bioelectromagnetics, instrumentation, neural networks, robotics, and sensor technologies are some of the disciplines necessary to develop new understanding and products in this area. A keystone of this research area is the building of real-world devices and systems. Onsite facilities for prototyping and testing instrumentation systems, fabricating and measuring the performance of implantable devices, building robotic prostheses, are readily available. New sensors and sensor arrays are microfabricated in a 2,000 sq ft cleanroom.
