The Illinois-Carle Joint Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation Laboratory (JNERL) is an interdisciplinary research facility focused on advancing neural engineering and rehabilitation technologies. Collaborating between the University of Illinois and Carle Health, JNERL aims to develop innovative solutions for neurorehabilitation, leveraging cutting-edge techniques in medical imaging, electrophysiology, and brain-computer interface systems to improve outcomes for patients with neurological conditions.

The laboratory is directed by Dr. Yuan Yang, Associate Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Carle Foundation Hospital. Dr. Yang is also an adjunct associate professor at Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University.

Research in JNERL is supported by NIH, NSF, and AHA.
