Tactile Communication & Neurorehabilitation Laboratory at UW-Madison (TCNL)
Welcome to TCNL, founded in 1992 and reorganized in January, 2008. Our mission is to develop solutions for sensory and neurological disorders by applying principles of neuroplasticity, enabling the brain to process information in new ways and rehabilitate after injury caused by trauma or disease.

Responses may be delayed but we will get back to you. Please do not directly call or email the investigators or any other University of Wisconsin offices. Thank you for your patience, and for your interest in TCNL research.
