Welcome
성균관대학교 집적신경보철연구실 방문을 환영합니다.
신경보철 및 신경조절 기술은 불완전한 신체의 운동기능을 보완하고 운동재활을 촉진하는 핵심 분야입니다. 최근에는 인간 증강과 고난이도 운동기능 습득을 돕는 기술 개발에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있습니다.
우리 연구실은 이러한 흐름에 발맞추어, 착용형 및 이식형 신경보철·신경조절 시스템을 구현하는 집적시스템과 전기적 뉴런을 기반으로 한 생체모방회로를 연구하고 있습니다.
Neuroprosthetics and neuromodulation technologies play a crucial role in compensating for impaired motor functions and promoting motor rehabilitation. Recently, there has been growing interest in developing technologies that enhance human capabilities and facilitate the acquisition of advanced motor skills.
Our laboratory is at the forefront of this field, conducting research on integrated systems for wearable and implantable neuroprosthetic and neuromodulation devices, as well as bio-mimetic circuits based on electrical neurons.
인간의 삶의 질을 향상시키는 연구에 열정을 갖고, 함께 큰 꿈을 향해 나아가고자 하는 대학원생, 박사후연구원, 그리고 학부생들을 모집하고 있습니다.

Research Thema
We make integrated neuroprostheses to favorably intervene the nervous system, in any stage from the brain to the peripheral nervous system. The neuroprosthesis is designed to compensate for problems of nervous system and make good changes. For this to happen, the neuroprosthesis needs to communicate with the nervous system and environment. The ascending/descending maps work as a translator between the electrical system and the nervous system. Actuator/sensor also interacts with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the interested behavior is monitored in real time and the control parameters of the neuroprosthesis are updated wirelessly as a closed-loop optimization. Smart system integration techniques are used to implant neuroprosthesis inside/onto the body without issue of discomfort for natural body functions.
Ⅰ. Scientific study of nervous system and its problems
Ⅱ. Develop integrated neuroprosthesis
Ⅲ. Make good changes and rehabilitation
