About Us
Advancing neuromuscular physiology through collaboration and innovation in theoretical and experimental neuroscience research.
Current Staff and Students
The research in the CTNL extends from basic and clinical neuroscience to theoretical studies using mathematical models and computer simulations. Students with diverse backgrounds in kinesiology, neuroscience or physiology will be just as comfortable in the lab as those from engineering, mathematics or computer science.
Applications for graduate study are considered in the following programs: Kinesiology, Neuroscience, and Biomedical Engineering. Most programs only accept students for September entry and deadlines for applications are early (up to 10 months prior to start date).
