Introduction to Neuroengineering

Catalog description

This graduate-level course offers a comprehensive introduction to the interdisciplinary field of neuroengineering, focusing on the integration of neuroscience and engineering principles to advance our understanding of the nervous system and develop innovative technologies for neural interfacing and control. Through in-class lectures and focused hands-on problems, students will learn the fundamentals of neurophysiology, as well as statistical analysis of neural signals. The course will also provide the students with an overview of non-electrical neural I/O modalities, such as neurophotonics, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical methods. By the end of the course, students will gain a deeper understanding of the state-of-the art methods used in modern system neuroscience, neuromodulation systems, neuroprosthetics, and brain-computer interfaces.
