Course Schedule: Now available as a self-pace course.
This five-week short course aims to introduce students to bioelectricity using a unique, "bottom up" approach.
Fundamentals of bioelectricity of the mammalian nervous system. Passive and active forms of electric signaling in both intra and inter-cellular communication at the atomic, molecular, and engineered device level. Mathematical analysis including the Nernst equation, core conductors, cable theory, and the Hodgkin-Huxley Model of the action potential. Neuromodulation with nano-engineered sensors and actuators.
