DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinical Neuroengineering Training Program (CNTP) will train individuals to use inter-disciplinary approaches from the engineering-neuroscience interface to solve clinical research problems. We define clinical neuroengineering very broadly to encompass clinical and applied aspects of: neural interfacing, neuroelectronics, neuromechanical systems, neuroinformatics, neuroimaging, neuronal prosthetics, neural functions and performance, neural control, neural tissue regeneration, neural signal processing, neural modeling and neurocomputation. The CNTP will be a interdisciplinary program that builds on existing excellence across 5 colleges while providing trainees a common set of cross-disciplinary experiences. CNTP trainees will enter the program with biology or engineering backgrounds and must fulfill the requirements of an existing Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin. These graduate programs will provide the disciplinary excellence that trainees need to become future leaders in their respective fields. The trainee will conduct his/her PhD research on a project sponsored by a faculty trainer from the program with the additional requirement that the thesis committee have at least one faculty member from each of the broad subject areas that makeup the program: neuroscience, engineering/physical science and clinical practice. This process will ensure that the trainees will have a truly interdisciplinary research experience with broad exposure to more than one discipline. A common set of cross-disciplinary experiences will distinguish CNTP trainees from their peers; these will include a clinical neuroengineering-oriented minor course program, participation in a CNTP student seminar program. This training will incorporate appropriate clinical exposure and allow them to develop cutting edge engineering technology and incorporate it with leading neuroscience discoveries in real world clinical applications. Students will receive hands-on experience in a variety of clinical, basic neurobiology, and engineering labs. The clinical experiences will include current medical treatments for diseases such as Parkinson's, ALS, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, and peripheral nerve injury. The common experiences of CNTP trainees will ensure that all trainees, regardless of their major Ph.D. program, will be conversant in the neuroscience and engineering principles and clinical questions required to function as cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers in the 21st Century.

描述（由申请人提供）： 临床神经工程培训计划（CNTP）将培训个人使用工程-神经科学接口的跨学科方法来解决临床研究问题。我们对临床神经工程的定义非常广泛，涵盖以下临床和应用方面：神经接口、神经电子学、神经机械系统、神经信息学、神经影像学、神经假体、神经功能和性能、神经控制、神经组织再生、神经信号处理、神经建模和神经计算。 CNTP 将是一个跨学科项目，以 5 所学院现有的卓越成果为基础，同时为学员提供一套共同的跨学科经验。 CNTP 学员将以生物学或工程学背景进入该项目，并且必须满足现有博士学位的要求。威斯康星大学的计划。这些研究生课程将为学员提供成为各自领域未来领导者所需的卓越学科知识。实习生将在由该项目的教员培训师赞助的项目上进行他/她的博士研究，并附加要求论文委员会至少有一名来自构成该项目的每个广泛学科领域的教员：神经科学、工程/物理科学和临床实践。这一过程将确保学员拥有真正的跨学科研究经验，广泛接触多个学科。一套共同的跨学科经验将使 CNTP 学员与同行区分开来；其中包括临床神经工程导向的辅修课程、参加 CNTP 学生研讨会计划。该培训将结合适当的临床接触，使他们能够开发尖端的工程技术，并将其与现实世界临床应用中领先的神经科学发现相结合。学生将在各种临床、基础神经生物学和工程实验室获得实践经验。临床经验将包括帕金森病、ALS、脊髓损伤、阿尔茨海默病、癫痫和周围神经损伤等疾病的当前医学治疗。 CNTP 学员的共同经历将确保所有学员，无论他们的专业是博士。计划，将熟悉神经科学和工程原理以及 21 世纪跨学科科学家和工程师所需的临床问题。
