O Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS) makes public the selection notice 2018.2 for the course Master's in Neuroengineering. The selection process receives applications from candidates until the day June 17, 2018. The course, which lasts two years, is the first master's degree in Neuroengineering in Brazil recommended by Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination (CAPES).

Graduates from the areas of Health, Biology (Biology, Medicine, Psychology, etc.) and Engineering (bachelor's or bachelor's degree) can apply for the Master's degree at IIN-ELS. To do this, you need to fill out the application form, submit the required documentation, fill out a letter of intent and obtain two other letters of recommendation.

The professionals selected in the current selection process will compose the first class to begin studies in the new IIN-ELS research infrastructure, located in Brain Campus. The 15 thousand m building² of built area is based in the municipality of Macaíba (RN), approximately 14 kilometers from the capital Natal.

Profile of graduates of the Master's degree in Neuroengineering

Neuroengineering is an area of interdisciplinary research that combines neuroscience and engineering methods to study the functioning of the nervous system and develop solutions for the limitations and dysfunctions associated with it. The PPG in Neuroengineering at IIN-ELS has two lines of research: Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) It is neuromodulation

The professional with a Master's Degree in Neuroengineering obtained at the IIN-ELS can work in numerous areas that encompass aspects of experimental, computational, theoretical, clinical and applied research, at molecular, cellular and systems levels. There is room to develop research and technologies in areas such as brain-machine interface, neuromodulation, computational neuroscience and signal processing, rehabilitation, brain-brain interface, prostheses and orthoses, biocompatibility, neurodegenerative diseases, microcephaly, psychiatric diseases and cognition, among others.
