Neuroscience meets Engineering
The Rice Neuroengineering Initiative is a collaborative multidisciplinary program that brings together the brightest minds in neuroscience, engineering, and related fields to improve lives by restoring and extending the capabilities of the human brain.
Our Impact
In 2019 the Rice NEI opened its doors with 25,000+ continuous square feet of new laboratories and experimental spaces within the BioScience Research Collaborative (BRC). Located adjacent to both the Rice University campus and the Texas Medical Center, we work closely with clinicians and their patients to devise new technologies for interacting with the brain, but also create new ways to diagnose, treat, and even prevent diseases and disorders ranging from Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s to chronic pain and depression.
