Translational Neuroengineering

3 units

This course focuses on the design of bioelectric devices for use in clinical patients. Neural stimulators (e.g., deep brain, vagal) will be the basis for a case-study approach to designing and developing new bioelectrical medical devices. This project-based course will introduce the student to the use of finite element solvers to design novel stimulators. In addition to the engineering design aspects, issues such as product liability, FDA approval, and so on will be discussed.
