  Envision the day when doctors can help guide brain repair via targeted gene therapy or altered circuitry - or develop artificial eye implants that actually mimic natural function. Consider the benefits of understanding the exact mechanisms governing how fatigue, aging, alcohol or alcohol affect motor neuron activity. Dr. John Enderle, director of the Biomedical Engineering program, foresees these technological miracles and more. The goal of Dr. Enderle's research is to understand how the brain monitors, integrates and adaptively controls neurosensory information. His research efforts focus on investigating and ultimately producing a model that will predict the head and eye movement responses to any combination of visual, auditory, and vestibular inputs in a changing environment. He and his team have developed the first model to have the static and dynamic characteristics of muscle and corrects errors by early investigators in the beginning of the 20th century that has been carried on until the early 1990s.
