Classes Taught

Principal Instructor

Applications of Neuroengineering, MAS.882/9.433, MIT (Spring 2008)

Project-focused course in which students take top-down approach to developing technologies that address critical clinical and basic-science problems of human brain function. Focus is on application of engineering principles to development of systematically powerful tools. Problem domains include neurological/psychiatric disorders, consciousness, and human cognitive augmentation. Students work in teams to apply cross-disciplinary (e.g., molecular, physical, nanotechnological) building blocks to design new tools for the analysis and engineering of the brain.


Principles of Neuroengineering, MAS.881/20.452/9.422, MIT (Fall 2007, Fall 2008)

Covers principles underlying current and future technologies for brain analysis and engineering, for neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. Focuses on using biophysical, biochemical, and anatomical models to understand technology design constraints governing ability to observe and alter brain function. Topics include functional magnetic resonance imaging, electromagnetic recording/stimulation, neuropharmacology, optical cellular imaging, and gene/stem-cell therapy. Design projects by student teams.


Neurotechnology Ventures, (MAS.961/9.912J/HST.588 in Spring 2007; MAS.883/9.455/20.454/15.128/HST.588 thereafter), MIT (Spring 2007, Fall 2008)
