Introduction to Neural Engineering

Catalog description

Introduces the field of neural engineering. Neural engineering, as with all engineering fields, can be thought of as applied scientific understanding, in this case, applied neuroscience. Covers aspects of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neurosurgery, biophysics, electronics and signal processing; integrates these knowledge areas into neural engineering applications. Covers an entire process for conducting research in neural engineering: surgical implantation of electrodes, data acquisition, processing neural signals, decoding neural data, and controlling prosthetic devices. Provides foundation for working with neural engineering applications and conducting research in neural engineering.
