ECE 505: Neural Interface Engineering

Offered every fall semester

Prerequisites: senior/graduate standing, a course on electro-magnetics, experience with MATLAB, high school level biology

Description: A course specifically designed for EE students who are interested in cool biomedical applications but do not trust in their biology backgrounds to take a course. This course will investigate the electrical engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, or enhance neural systems. The first part of the course will be spent exploring the history of bioelectricity phenomena and introducing the basic modern neuroscience in electrical engineering terms and models. In the second part, the design of functional electrical and optical interfaces with the nervous system will be described both for stimulation and recording purposes. The final part of the course will cover the development of various systems for neuroprosthetics and neurorobotics applications such as pacemakers, cochlear implants and artificial retinas. The aim of this course is to provide the necessary technical qualification to the student in order to solve design problems at the interface of living neural tissue and non-living constructs for biomedical applications.
