Neuroengineering faculty are members of the [[Rice Center for Neuroengineering]], a collaborative effort with [[Texas Medical Center]] researchers. They develop technology for treating and diagnosing [[neural disease]]s. Current research areas include interrogating [[neural circuits]] at the cellular level, analyzing neuronal data in real-time, and manipulating healthy or diseased neural circuit activity and connectivity using [[nanoelectronics|nano electronics]], [[optics]], and emerging [[photonics]] technologies.

Photonics, Electronics and Nano-device researchers focus on [[nanophotonics]] and [[plasmonic]]s, optical [[nanosensor]] and nano-actuator development, studies of new materials, in particular [[nanomaterials]] and magnetically active materials; imaging and image processing, including [[multispectral imaging]] and [[terahertz imaging]]<ref>http://www.futurity.org/handheld-terahertz-cameras-replace-mri/</ref>; ultrafast spectroscopy and dynamics; laser applications in remote and point sensing, especially for trace gas detection;<ref>http://www.ece.rice.edu/Content.aspx?id=2147484234</ref> nanometer-scale characterization of surfaces, molecules, and devices; [[organic semiconductor]] devices; single-molecule transistors<ref>http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/57989</ref>; and applications of [[Nanoshells]]<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/halas-nanoshell.html</ref> in biomedicine.

Current Rice ECE Systems research spans a wide range of areas including image and video analysis, representation, and compression; [[wavelets]] and multiscale methods; [[statistical signal processing]], [[pattern recognition]], and learning theory; distributed signal processing and sensor networks; communication systems; computational neuroscience; and wireless networking.
