Teaches principles of mathematical modeling applied to the excitable tissues, including peripheral nerves, brain, muscle, and heart. Using small group, problem based learning, students solve challenging problems involving coupled differential equations, finite element analysis, simulated annealing, and other numerical methods in order to model consequences of assumptions about how excitable tissues work or interact with implanted devices. Creation of custom computer code is required. Written problem descriptions provided by the instructor are extensive and detailed, serving as a "guide on the side" to student groups, while requiring key discoveries to be made by students themselves. Background information for each problem is presented in lectures. Problems are related to topics such as the function of the cochlea, the genesis of the electrocardiogram, and deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
