The Neural Engineering and Precision Surgery (NEPS) Lab takes a multidisciplinary approach to medical research, incorporating medical and surgical knowledge and engineering capability to develop techniques and advanced medical devices for neuromodulation. 

The mission of the NEPS is to help patients by developing the knowledge and technology needed to effectively modulate central nervous system function. The team works toward these goals:

- Understand the biological mechanisms of action for neuromodulation.

- Invent lasting bioelectrical technologies and create devices and procedures for neuromodulation.

- Pioneer less-invasive neurosurgical techniques.

- Translate gained knowledge into medical practice.

- Train the next generation of leaders in neuroscience, neural engineering and functional neurosurgery.

The NEPS Lab at Korea University aims to become a more progressive and globally influential research lab by forming a sister-lab partnership with the NEPS Lab at the Mayo Clinic in the United States.
