Course objectives

The objective of the Course will be to give the students a good acquaintance of the mechanism of interaction between electromagnetic or mechanical waves and neurons.

Furthermore the Course aims to provide students with knowledge about the main neuromodulation techniques, both non-invasive (TMS, tES) and invasive (DBS, VNS, SCS, IDD).

Results of learning outcomes

At the end of the Course students will be able to know the theoretical basis of the main non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and the principal invasive electric and chemical techniques to modulate the Nervous System along with their clinical indications and outcomes.

Course delivery

The course will be delivered via frontal lessons and discussion with the students about the presented topics. 

Learning assessment methods

The learning will be assessed via oral exam during which the student will be invited to discuss the topics of all the 4 teaching modules.
