Introduction:
In the spring quarter of 2006, five
University of California: San Diego students of BENG187A formed the team called "The Plastics" [
Meet
the team here].
Under the leadership of Dr. Ward and Dr. Lieber of the UCSD
School of Medicine, the team was sent out to design a device that would
contribute to neural plasticity research. The device would be one that would
detect and resolve forces resulting from various forearm movements [Learn
about the project here].
After a quarter's worth of designing in BENG 187B, the
device is on its way to completion as the team implements the design in BENG 187C.
The device consists of the electronics part and the mechanical part. [Learn
more about the device components: electronics
and mechanical].
Recently, we have obtained
the Institutional Review Board approval to conduct scientific studies using
our device. [Learn about the IRB approval here:
