NeuroMuscular Research Center Information

The NeuroMuscular Research Center (NMRC) was established as an independent unit of Boston University by an act of the Board of Trustees in October 1984. The mission of the Center is to explore the workings of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and to develop new technologies for assessing the performance of the Neuromuscular System. We have expertise in Electromyography, Biomechanics and Motor Control. The NMRC is comprised of over 30 faculty, staff and graduate students. Our members are drawn from Engineering, Medicine, Allied Health and Natural Sciences. Our research interests range from basic studies to design of medical devices. The Center is organized into six laboratories: * Design Lab * Injury Analysis and Prevention Lab * Motion Analysis Lab * Motor Control Lab * Motor Unit Lab * Muscle Fatigue Lab
