Spring 2025 Lecture Upper DivisionAn introduction to Neural Engineering - an emerging field of developing and applying engineering solutions to research or translational problems concerning the brain. The course will cover a broad range of topics about neural sensing, modeling, stimulation, interface, and prosthetics. Course projects are drawn from real-world problems and experimental data.
Learning Outcomes1Analyze neural signals in various spatial and temporal scales.
2Examine relationships between neural activity and sensation/behavior.
3Identify existing ways and mechanisms to modulate neural circuit functions.
4Identify existing applications of neural prosthetics, implants, and robotics.
5Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems in brain research.
6Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to neural data.
