This class will introduce neural prostheses, neural stimulators, and modeling techniques for neural prostheses and neural stimulators. This class will also introduce neural response modeling techniques. This course will cover the following topics: (0) Introduction of the brain and the nervous system (1) Neural implants and electronics. (2) Introduction of neural prosthesis and neural stimulation device - Cochlear implants - Deep brain stimulation - Retinal implants - BIONS (Bionic Neurons) implants - Functional electrical stimulation - Cuff electrodes, flat interface neural electrodes (FINE) (3) Introduction to computational neuroscience method - RC circuits - Cable model - Hodgkin-Huxley model of action potential - Activating functions (4) Introduction to finite element method. - 2D/3D models. - Mesh generation. - Material properties. - Boundary conditions. - Electrode-Tissue interface model (5) Applications to electromagnetic, electric conduction, piezo-electric, thermal, and fluid flow problems. (6) Coupling problems (if time permits) (7) Introduction to equivalent circuits. - Computation of equivalent resistors, capacitors, and inductors. - Use of SPICES program. (8) Optimal design using genetic algorithms based on the finite element method and computational neuroscience techniques.

Pre-requisit: Calculus and electronic circuits I. A plus if you know some electromagnetic, but not necessary. Check with the instructor if you are not sure.

3-5 homework, a midterm review presentation, a final project presentation and report.
