Neuroengineering
ENG-SCI 225
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This course provides an introduction to biological neural systems, and current engineering efforts to understand, control, and enhance the function of neural systems. The focus is on the basic knowledge of molecular basis, anatomic structures, and electrical functions of central and peripheral nervous systems, and the most state-of-the-art genetic/genomic, optical, electrical, magnetic, and computational tools for nervous systems. Key themes throughout the course will include structures of central and peripheral nervous systems, genetic engineering, RNA sequencing, optogenetics, microscope, bioelectronics, MRI, and computational neuroscience. This includes both the practical and theoretical aspects of the topic.
Course Notes
The contents and course requirements are similar to those of Biomedical Engineering 131 (BE 131), with the exception that students enrolled in Engineering Sciences 225 (ENG-SCI 225) are expected to undertake a substantial course project.
