Interface Between Neuroethology & Neural Engineering
The course will provide students with an overview of the tight interface between neural engineering and neuroethological approaches in the field of neuroscience. This course will also discuss the concepts of causal manipulations, such as the control of brain circuits using optics and genetic engineering. Lastly, students will also inquire and discuss what discoveries have yet to be made and how neuroethological approaches can inform neural engineering designs that will revolutionize the future of neural medicine.
Topics
- Understand the close interface between studies of the nervous system and technology
- The overreaching goal of this course is to expose student interested in neural engineering to the remarkable history of neuroethological approaches that have been a foundation of discoveries in the field. The course will review the utilization, development and implementation of a wide diversity of neural engineering technologies to the study of the brain. Students will discuss the bidirectional road between the two approaches
