Summary
James Hokanson is an Assistant Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin with 14 years of experience bridging neuroscience, computational modeling, and experimental neuroengineering. His work ranges from developing experimental methods for artificial somatosensory feedback to computational studies of neuron recruitment under electrical stimulation, built on a foundation of research at Duke, Pittsburgh, and Washington University. Known for translating rigorous lab experiments into quantitative models, he blends hands-on electrode design and stimulation techniques with analytic code—available and open to discussion via his website and GitHub. Based in Milwaukee, he brings a rare mix of academic depth and practical engineering instincts that advance both basic science and translational neurotechnology.
