The group of ChBE Prof. Mayuresh Kothare, along with his students and collaborators, will present five research posters at the 2021 Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting, taking place virtually Nov. 8-11.
These research results are part of the $2.2 million NIH funded SPARC (Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Condition) research program entitled "CONTROL-CORE: A Modular Simulation Environment for Design and Prototyping of Closed-loop Peripheral Neuromodulation Control Systems using the O2S2PARC Platform." The collaborating institutions are Emory University, Lehigh University, San Jose State University, University of Pittsburgh, and Thomas Jefferson University.
