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.
