Electrical neuromodulation can be defined as the use of electrical nerve stimulation to control the ongoing activity of one or more neural circuits. This course will cover the fundamental topics related to electrical neuromodulation devices, such as the mammalian nervous system, neural excitation predicted by cable theory, principles of neural recording, long-term performance of implanted devices, and advanced techniques for controlling nervous tissue activation. The class will also cover selected literature of important clinical applications of electrical neuromodulation, where each student will present and lead the discussion of assigned papers. Finally, there will be group projects (typically consisting of two students) in which students will be provided a choice of topics to investigate under the guidance of the instructor or graduate students. The project may involve the design and testing of novel methods of nerve stimulation/recording or it may involve the implementation of neural circuits using computer software (e.g., neuron).
