The Neural Engineering Center (NEC) was established in 2007 and is dedicated to addressing clinical challenges arising from disorders, injuries, and degenerative changes in the neuro-musculoskeletal and blood supply systems that lead to motor-sensory and cognitive impairments. Committed to overcoming rehabilitation mechanisms and technological bottlenecks in neuro-musculoskeletal and circulatory dysfunction, we establish a multidisciplinary collaborative innovation platform through the deep integration of neural engineering, rehabilitation science and technology, and intelligent systems. By synergizing biomechanical modeling, multimodal structural/functional imaging, multi-physics-field neuromuscular modulation, and molecular biology approaches, we systematically explore the dynamic coupling mechanisms underlying neural signal transmission, musculoskeletal motion, and microcirculatory supply. This provides a scientific foundation for functional rehabilitation of motor-sensory and cognitive disorders. Our core technological breakthroughs focus on flexible sensing and stretchable electronics, in-situ synchronous detection of functional/structural information, motor/sensory functional reconstruction, neuro-musculoskeletal and hemodynamic regulation/regeneration, neural-machine interfaces, human-centered intelligent interaction paradigms, bioactive materials and clinical applications. We hope to construct an integrated "detection-assessment-intervention" rehabilitation chain for neuro-musculoskeletal and circulatory systems. Targeting four key clinical scenarios—functional substitution, functional reconstruction, functional enhancement, and regenerative repair—we develop advanced systems including: intelligent neural prosthetic systems, biomimetic rehabilitation robots, smart wearable devices, neuro-musculoskeletal functional augmentation/intervention platforms, next-generation neuro-modulation technologies. This comprehensive framework drives transformative innovations bridging fundamental discoveries to clinical implementation in neuro-rehabilitation engineering.
