The Graduate Program in Neuroengineering at Instituto Santos Dumont (ISD) operates from the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neurosciences (IIN-ELS), one of our units in Macaíba (RN).
Primeiro programa reconhecido pelo Ministério da Educação nesta área de conhecimento no Brasil, o Mestrado em Neuroengenharia do ISD busca formar profissionais que transitem pelos academic and business circles (public or private), linking neurosciences with engineering.
The structure of the Program was designed to overcome existing barriers between exact, biological and human graduations. There is an evident need for real multidisciplinary training in Brazil, especially in the Northeast region.
The IIN-ELS master's degree is free, 100% in-person, has the duration of 24 months and has the Biomedical engineering as an area of concentration. The selection processes occur twice a year.

A professional who develops simulations of neural networks on machines with four thousand processing cores, which produces arrays of 128 electrodes with thicknesses smaller than a strand of hair. An academic who builds three-dimensional images of nervous system cells or works with brain-machine interfaces for rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries. This is the day to day of the students of the Graduate Program (PPG) of the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS).
The IIN-ELS offers, since 2013, the first Master's in Neuroengineering from Brazil. Recommended by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES, 33280010001P2), the course aims to:
I – Develop advanced scientific research in neuroengineering;
II – Train qualified professionals to work multi and interdisciplinary in Neuroengineering, in the field of scientific research and public or private technological bodies;
III – Encourage, disseminate and apply new knowledge in a regional, national and international context;
IV – Foster science as an agent of cultural stimulation and integration with regional communities.
