Neuroengineering

Neuroengineering.

Neuroengineering is a cross disciplinary research field combining engineering and neuroscience. The focus is set on deep brain stimulation (DBS), neuronavigation, optical measurement techniques, brain microcirculation, neuroimaging and neuromodelling. The projects are strongly connected to translation and implementation for clinical use.

Neuroengineering

Neuroengineering is a cross-disciplinary research area where engineering meets neuroscience. New methods, tools and techniques are developed and translated for clinical use. The research contributes to new knowledge of the human brain.

Research projects

DBS electrode

Deep Brain Stimulation: Data Analysis for Clinical Support

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) researchers bringing together patient-specific simulations, brain atlas and physiological data for clinical support in surgical planning and follow up.
Optical guidance in neuro surgery

Optical guidance in neurosurgery

Optical techniques as laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and fluorescence systems, and their related measurement probes, are adapted and translate for use during the neurosurgery.
Neuro intensive care instruments

Neurointensive care monitoring

The aim of this multiparametric approach is to investigate the possibility to detect vasospasm, progressing into ischemia and brain infarction, and secondary bleedings in brain trauma at an early stage.

Research into "big data" secures big money

When Parkinson´s disease is treated by electrical stimulation of the brain, huge amounts of data are produced. A group of researchers led by Professor Karin Wårdell will now use these data to develop a visual aid for brain surgeons.
