Learning outcomes:
Learning Objectives: To develop skills for (part I) an advanced analysis of various types of neural signals and (part II) for modeling neural signals across spatiotemporal scales. Topics in part I include stationary and non-stationary processing methods, source separation methods, and a mutual information analysis in multichannel recordings. Topics in part II include a review of the finite element method and neurophysical modeling. This course covers the theory but also includes hands-on exercises in both, the lab and project work. It provides students with the ability to extract information in a variety of noisy neural recordings. Moreover, the students gain a deep insight in the origin of neural signals using computational modeling. They are able to apply their computational modeling skills to new types of problems in neural engineering by means of biological and neurophysical reasoning. Participation in actual research studies and/or lab projects to complement course topics is required. That way, students receive soft skill training related to safe patient handling.
