Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Topcis:
- electrical stimulation of neurons
- biocompatibility
- coding strategies
In the parallel prctical course we will develop a virtual model of a cochlea implant and model how it will stimulate neurons.
- electrical field distribution
- electrical stimulation of neurons
- implementation of a coding strategy
Learning Outcome
- interdisciplinary understanding of the underlying principles of electrical stimulation of neurons and modelling
- Implementation of a codingstrategy for neuroprostheses
Preconditions
Linear systems theory
Signalprocessing
