Advanced Systems Neuroengineering

Catalog description

An introduction to systems neuroscience and neuroengineering applications to systems neuroscience and computational neuroscience. The focus will be on the "virtuous cycle" between advanced neuroengineering to develop technology to measure and manipulate brain function; this increases our understanding of brain function, which in turn, leads to improved devices, and eventual application to clinical problems. The course spans human and non-human primate research. The core brain systems for sensory, motor, cognitive, emotional functions will be introduced and their relevance for neuroengineering discussed.
