The Engineering and Data Science Committee seeks to understand challenges in SCI research and medical practice, and how cutting-edge technologies can be used to address those challenges. We want to increase participation of engineers and data scientists in the field of SCI, and foster communication between them and all stakeholders, including clinicians, basic scientists, and individuals living with SCI.
