Key Summary
BEng Neural Engineering with Psychology
How can the human nervous system control a bionic prosthesis? How can we use engineering to develop treatments for nervous system conditions? Can we tap into and stimulate the brain to augment people’s cognitive abilities? Neural Engineering is an emerging area of Biomedical Engineering that uses engineering, maths, biophysics, computer science and psychology to develop treatment for neurological disorders and create innovative interfaces between the brain and computers.
We will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be a leader in the development of novel technologies for the rapidly expanding neural engineering industry, building systems that can change people’s lives. You will be taught in a collaboration with the Department of Psychology, which will give you a foundation in the cognitive processes within the human brain.
Our BEng Neural Engineering with Psychology will cover the following areas:
- Brain-computer and neural interfaces
- Analysis and classification of neural signals
- Brain-activity recording (neuroimaging) and simulation technologies
- Human experimentation
- Brain and behaviour
- Neuroscience
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. We are home to many of the world’s top engineers, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination, as well as technical excellence. You graduate as a creative, experimental and focused engineer ready to explore further how engineering can impact the people and world around you.
