The College of Engineering and the newly formed department of Biomedical Engineering welcome a new addition - the Center for Network Neuroscience (CNNS). Dr. Guenter Gross, who heads CNNS, felt that the College of Engineering and the department of Biomedical Engineering would be a natural home for the CNNS.

CNNS was established January 1, 1987, to facilitate trans-disciplinary studies of the self-organization and electrophysiological dynamics of mammalian networks in cell culture. From the beginning, investigations have focused on exploration of basic mechanisms and strategies underlying the phenomena of pattern generation, recognition, storage, and fault tolerance in neuronal ensembles.

Dr. Vijay Vaidyanathan, interim Chair of the Biomedical Engineering department, said that addition of CNNS brings more opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to work on exciting design projects and research areas, respectively.
