BMEN30F, 7.5 credits

Valid from: Spring 2023
Decided by: Professor Thomas Johansson
Date of establishment: 2022-03-24

General Information

Division: Biomedical Engineering
Course type: Course given jointly for second and third cycle
The course is also given at second-cycle level with course code: BMEN30
Teaching language: English

Aim

The aim of this course is to give a broad overview of neural engineering concepts and principles for recording outgoing (efferent) and generating ingoing (afferent) neural signals. These concepts form the basis for neural interfaces or human-machine interfaces. This area is interdisciplinary and encompasses the fields of neuroscience, physiology, signalprocessing, machine learning and robotics. The course will give insights into existing and future neural interfaces, neural prostheses and neurorobotics.
