NE 330 - Neuroscience for Engineers
Last offered Spring 2025
Official Description
Provides an introduction to the fields of Neuroscience and Neural Engineering. Content includes a systems-level overview of the central nervous system, its blood supply, and its structural and functional features, and its connection to the peripheral nervous system. The course focuses on the mechanisms by which cells create, transmit, integrate, and perceive signals to enable memory, speech, language, pain, consciousness, and mood. Neuroscience fundamentals are taught from the perspective of engineering principles that guide the development and implementation of neural technologies and enable a quantitative understanding of function through modeling. Neural engineering applications include robotics, brain and spinal cord stimulation, non-invasive brain machine interfaces, and virtual reality gamification. Neuroimaging techniques and their application for brain science, as well as the novel tools and devices used to diagnose, monitor and improve neurological function will also be discus
