Does Covid-19 change anything?<\/b><\/p>

There are no plans to change the calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, according to Fabr\u00edcio Brasil \u2013 coordinator of the master's program \u2013 classes may start virtually, if necessary. By February, the master's program coordinator will reassess the epidemiological situation in the country and the state to define the format of the classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Possibilities such as videoconference interviews with pre-selected candidates and online registration \u2013 which were already foreseen in previous selections \u2013 are also considered in this notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Registrations\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Since the last selection for the master's degree (2020.2), candidates must indicate which areas they have the most affinity with when registering. The application form presents eight projects developed at the Institute and asks which one(s) the potential student would like to have their application directed to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Among the researched topics are \u201cControl of brain connectivity by stimulation\u201d; \u201cRehabilitation with the aid of neuromodulation\u201d; \u201cMechanisms of formation, expression and modification of memories; \u201cAnimal experimentation related to cognition, more specifically, learning and memory\u201d among others that can be checked in detail in the Letter of Intent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The idea, according to Fabr\u00edcio Brasil, is to identify affinities from the beginning to optimize the development of research when the student is in the field.<\/span><\/p>

To apply, the candidate must electronically submit the application form and the Letter of Intent, in addition to observing the other procedures included in the selection notice.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>

Who can do a master's degree in neuroengineering?<\/b><\/p>

The target audience for the selection process is candidates with undergraduate degrees in the health, engineering or biological fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The program has already received graduates from courses such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, medicine, biological sciences, electrical engineering, computer science, nursing, biotechnology, civil engineering, control and automation engineering, chemical engineering, physiotherapy, psychology, biomedicine and speech therapy . Students come from different institutions and regions in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>

Of the 10 vacancies foreseen in this selection, one is reserved for professors and employees of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and two are destined for graduates of the <\/span>Multiprofessional Residency in Health Care for People with Disabilities, from ISD<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

About the course<\/b><\/p>

The IIN-ELS\/ISD master's degree in neuroengineering is offered free of charge, lasts up to two years and is the first in Brazil recommended by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).<\/span><\/p>

Since August 2013, when it began, the program has received 422 applications for selection and registered 114 entrants.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Classes and research are carried out at the IIN-ELS headquarters, in Maca\u00edba (RN), a municipality located about 14 kilometers from the capital, Natal.<\/span><\/p>

The Institute offers students free daily transportation between the two municipalities.<\/span><\/p>

About IIN-ELS and the program<\/b><\/p>

The Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS) has been in operation since 2006 and develops teaching, research and extension activities in neuroscience and neuroengineering \u2013 two areas considered strategic for Brazil and the world.<\/span><\/p>

The Institute's postgraduate program in Neuroengineering offers two lines of research (Brain-Machine Interface and Neuromodulation) and opens up prospects for professional activity linked to experimental, computational, theoretical, clinical and applied research, at molecular, cellular and systems levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There is room for the development of research and technologies in areas such as brain-machine interface, neuromodulation, computational neuroscience and signal processing, rehabilitation, brain-brain interface, prosthetics and orthoses, biocompatibility, neurodegenerative diseases, microcephaly, psychiatric diseases and cognition, among others.<\/span><\/p>

Neuroengineering<\/b><\/p>

Neuroengineering is an interdisciplinary research area that integrates neuroscience and engineering methods to study the functioning of the nervous system and develop solutions for the limitations and dysfunctions associated with the nervous system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The knowledge generated in this area enables the development of technologies and applications ranging from neuroprosthetics to the improvement of neuromodulation techniques with therapeutic potential. The work uses behavioral, electrophysiological, histological and immunohistochemical approaches, combined with quantitative analysis methods.<\/span><\/p>

The expectation is that the research developed will result in gains for society, such as the launch of cheaper prostheses for amputees, new forms of less invasive and lower-cost therapy for Parkinson's patients and the use of new technologies for the rehabilitation of paraplegic and quadriplegics.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
