Course Name: Introductory Neuroscience & Neuro-Instrumentation

Course abstract

This course is a systems, design-oriented course aimed to provide exposure to Neuroscience and its importance in the real world. Neuroscience and Neuro- Instrumentation are popular research areas and this course is an introduction to both. The emphasis is on Electro-physiology with an introduction to standard Biological Stimulators and signal conditioning circuits. Expected course outcomes: ? Introduction to EEG and Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). ? Introduction to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and its applications. ? Applications using ERPs to screen for disorders of Cognition. ? Introduction to ERP stimulators and signal conditioning circuits. ? Demonstration of EEGLab and ERPLab for EEG and ERP signal processing
