NEURAL ENGINEERING
Introduces the field of Neural Engineering: overview of neurobiology, recording and stimulating
the nervous system, signal processing, machine learning, powering and communicating with
neural devices, invasive and non-invasive brain-machine interfaces, spinal interfaces, smart
prostheses, deep-brain stimulators, cochlear implants and neuroethics. Heavy emphasis on
primary literature.
