UIC SYMPOSIUM ON SENSORY BIOENGINEERING
| WHAT: | UIC
will host a symposium on sensory bioengineering to present the latest
field developments. The scope of bioengineering has grown exponentially in the last decade and, in response, researchers at UIC have established a consortium of voices to discuss developments in neural prosthetics and biosensors using new microfabrication and bioengineering technologies. Such interdisciplinary research includes cochlear implants, artificial noses, silicon retinas and other applications. |
| WHEN: | Monday, Nov. 29, 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. |
| WHERE: | UIC Science and Engineering Laboratories East (SEL) 950 S. Halsted St., Room 4289 |
| DETAILS: |
Participants stem from UIC, Tufts University, Iowa State University, Hines VA Hospital, University of Illinois Champaign/Urbana, and Loyola University. UIC's goal with the symposium is to highlight new developments and directions in neural engineering. Scheduled talks include: 9:00 a.m. Introduction by Richard Magin, head of UIC's bioengineering department, and John Hetling, professor of bioengineering
