- understand how neuroprostheses work
- have an interdisciplinary understanding of the underlying principles of electrical stimulation of neurons
- can implement  a coding strategy for neuroprostheses
- knows how a cochlear implant operates in detail and why it operates this way.

 

Topics
- electrical field distribution
- electrical stimulation of neurons
- biocompatibility
- coding strategies
- cochlear implants
- student seminar presentations on various types of neuroprothetics

Scientific articles: Copies of scientific articles for the seminar will be provided prior to the course
Text books or papers will be suggested prior to the course.
