Certificate in Neural Engineering-Signals

The Certificate in Neural Engineering-Signals will enable students to gain both 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 brain waves, recording techniques and to types of noise. The student will also gain expertise in the usage of signal processing concepts in applications ranging from detecting the onset of epilepsy in LFP and EEG signals to the design of brain machine interfaces.
