Minor in Computational Neuroscience
Computational neuroscience is becoming an important tool for neuroscientists to understand how complex brain circuits work, for example, what causes post-traumatic stress disorder. This intersection of engineering and neuroscience is allowing great advances in health care, manufacturing and communication.
