DESCRIPTION
This course investigates cutting edge technologies in Neuroengineering in a seminar format that
includes lectures from guest faculty from the School of Biomedical Engineering, College of Medicine,
local universities, and local industries. The modules cover multiple topics that vary from year to year,
including cellular and circuit engineering, neuromodulation, neuroregeneration, neuroprosthetics,
neural implants and brain-machine interfaces.
COURSE PURPOSE WITHIN A PROGRAM OF STUDY
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to cutting-edge techniques and innovations in
neuroengineering. The course enables students to apply fundamental principles learned in BMES
477/710 to analyzing and critiquing technologies and clinical applications. They learn to identify
limitations in current neuroengineering research and develop potential solutions for these limitations.
Through oral presentations and proposals, they also enhance their ability to disseminate knowledge and
provide rationale for their own ideas.
