BIOENG 1615 - INTRODUCTION TO NEURAL ENGINEERING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This is an introductory neural engineering course for upper level undergraduate and graduate students interested in implantable cortical neural interface technology and research. The course covers two main topics; 1) basic neuroscience principles that govern neural interface engineering (ion channel biophysics, overview of different neuronal and non-neuronal cell types and how they interact with implantable microelectrodes, the basics of cortical organization, simple signal propagation through these neuronal networks, and how these signals can be extracted with implantable microelectrodes). 2) Overview of biological and engineering technologies and methodologies used in neural engineering research as well as their capabilities and limitations. Students will be provided raw neural recording and histology datasets, and will learn to assemble MATLAB based tools for basic signal processing and analysis.
