Certificate in Neural Engineering-Systems
The Certificate in Neural Engineering-Systems will enable students to gain both a fundamental and applied understanding of brain signals, a rapidly growing component of neural big-data research. The program includes the study of basic concepts related to modeling the nonlinear electrical circuits in the brain which use concepts from signal processing, modeling and control. Students will gain expertise in understanding the fundamentals required for the design of neural prostheses, and brain machine interfaces.
