Learning outcomes:
The students know variants of design and operating principle of neuroprostheses and can describe neuroprostheses as miniaturized medical technology systems, comprising sensors, integrated signal processing and actuators. The students can explain manufacturing and application of these systems. Besides the technical knowledge they can deal with safety requirements, approval procedures as a medical product and ethical considerations. The students can independently plan, implement and test a battery-driven biosignal acquisition device. One focus of this project is on the communication of soft skills in planning and coordination of a defined R&D task in a small project team.

Module content:
Lecture: Neuroprothetics as special medical engineering field, economic factors, technological and physiological foundations of neuroprothetics, functional elektrical stimulation, elektrotherapy, neuromodulation, neurostimulation, electrode types and electrode manufacturing, selected implants and neuroprotheses: cardiac pacemakers, deep brain stimulation, retinal implant, hearing implants (cochlea implant, brainstem implant), brain computer interfaces, elektrocorticography, bladder stimulation, prostheses oft he extremities (hand, foot, gait analysis...), Cyberhand concept, approval procedures, technical safety, ethical considerations of neuroprotheses, trends in neuroprothetics. Practical training: Design, assembly and testing of a battery-powered system for the acquisition, conditioning and analysis of myogenic biosignals (incl. approval regulations). Fundamental objective is the planing and implementation of a R&D project with selected ressources. The students learn to deal with problems in data acquisition, conditioning, data transmission and signal analysis, as well as the coverage of risk management, approval procedures as a medical product and the detailled documentation of the R&D process. The practical lab course bridges the gap from idea to implementation and application of a medical product.
