The mission of the Neurotech Hub is to accelerate progress in neuroscience by providing cutting-edge technical services on demand. We seek, test, and deploy paradigm-shifting or bespoke technologies.
What we do
Electronics
- 2-Layer flex circuit boards
- Reflow & SMD assembly
- Bench testing & characterization
3D Parts
- Bio-compatible (≥25µm)
- Wide-range of filaments
- 3D design & consultation
Other
- Laser & textile cutting
- Specialized training
- And more…
Let’s build something great.
Are you interested in creating a piece of equipment, implementing a new technology, or figuring out how to make your idea come to life? We can help.
How do I start using the Neurotech Hub?
- Head to our Membership page and find a plan that fits and then Get in Touch. We can also work on an hourly basis or collaborate on grants.
- Request Training to get a tour of the Hub and familiarize yourself with our equipment and safety protocols. We will require a cost center to be on file at this point.
- Schedule your equipment so we know who, what, and when.

A Hublink-enabled Wireless Running Wheel for Neuroscience Research
We have developed a Hublink-enabled running wheel for mice. Our wheel is self-contained and will run for two months on a single charge. Compatible with the hublink.cloud platform, our wheel will log wheel revolution-per-minute onto a micro-SD card and automatically sync with your Hublink account for visualization and data retrieval. Want to learn more? Let’s […]
Constraint-Based Design: A Practical Guide for Engineers and Creators
The next time you’re walking by a fire hydrant, look at the stem nut on the top of it: it is pentagon-shaped. This means that your standard crescent or pipe wrench can’t grip it. While this does act as an anti-tampering feature, it also conveys that this is a special-purpose application. This mirrors poka-yoke—Toyota’s system […]
How we Price 3D Printing
This blog post comes from asking myself a simple question when the Neurotech Hub was formed: what do we charge? The fact is, we operate as a business with no inherent subsidies. The main difference is that we don’t aim to profit, but rather, break even. What I did know was that many “on demand” […]
