Abstract:

Neural Prosthesis is an electronic implant that interfaces with nervous systems. Through direct electrical stimulation of nerves, it can help restore damaged or lost sensory or motion functions. Typical examples include cochlear implant and retina implant recently developed for severely hearing and vision impaired patients respectively. More recently interfacing with neurons in brain draws more attention for both therapeutic and scientific purposes. This course consists of a series of seminars prepared by the instructor and the participants of the class.
