Prosthetics: collaborations in neuroscience and engineering

PREP@UC Davis trainer Wil Joiner (Associate Professor, Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior) works with UC Davis faculty member Jonathon Schofield (Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering) to design improved prosthetic limbs for children.

Joiner studies how the brain controls the limbs and movement, and collaborates with Schofield and clinicians at the Northern California Shriners Hospital for Children in this project.

Check out this news article for a description of their very cool work.
