Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks The lecture covers the theoretical foundations of neuroprostheses. As the underlying principle of all neuroprostheses is the electrical excitation of neurons, we will cover this topic in depth using cochlea implants as an example. In the practical computer laboratory (2SWS), which complements the lecture (2SWS), we will program a solver for the cable equation of an active axon and implement a computer model of a cochlea implant. Topcis: - Overview neuroimplants - numerical solution of linear and nonlinear differential equations - electrical models of cells and neurons - derivation and solution of the cable equation for nerve fibers (axons) - simulation of the electrical excitation of nerve fibers (axons) - simulation of electrical field spread in the body - anatomy and function of the hearing organ - coding of sound in the auditory nerve - implementation of a coding strategy for a cochlear implant - electrochemistry of electrodes, biocompatibility and foreign body reactions
