On January 15, 2016, the list with the names of approved candidates for the master's degree at the Postgraduate Program<\/strong>action (PPG) in Neuroengineering<\/strong> of Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute of Neuroscience (IIN-ELS)<\/strong>. The selection committee, made up of six IIN-ELS professionals, chose the following students, listed below in order of classification, alongside the acronyms of their home institutions:<\/p>\n

Juliana Avila de Souza \u2013 UFRGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pedro de Fran\u00e7a Cavalcanti \u2013 UFRN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eduardo Bacelar Jacobi \u2013 FURG<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9a Coutinho Sarmento \u2013 UFPB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juliana Harumi Sato \u2013 FMJ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lorena Andreolli \u2013 UnB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thiago Chagas de Amorim \u2013 UNEB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mab Suellen Abreu Nunes \u2013 UNIT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edson Ricardo Junior \u2013 FURB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Registration and enrollment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Those selected must register between January 25th and February 29th and will be informed of the procedures by email. Enrollment will be done in person during the first week of classes. The IIN-ELS master's course in neuroengineering is free and offers activities at its facilities in Maca\u00edba, in Rio Grande do Norte. The academic year begins on March 1st and students can count on transportation between Natal and the Institute's headquarters.<\/p>\n

Researcher Fabr\u00edcio Lima Brasil (in the photo on the side, in a striped shirt), coordinator of the PPG, stated that both the demand and qualification of candidates have increased over time. This is the fifth call from IIN-ELS for graduates who are interested in deepening their knowledge in the area of neuroengineering and in the 2016 selection process there were candidates from Mato Grosso, Para\u00edba, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, S\u00e3o Paulo, Distrito Federal, Minas Gerais, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte and Bahia.<\/p>\n

The next cycle of applications for the IIN-ELS PPG should be published at the beginning of May. The course is aimed at graduates in the areas of health sciences or engineering areas (bachelor's or licentiate's degree), who aim to gain depth with a high standard of scientific or technical-professional competence.<\/p>\n

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

IIN-ELS PPG research lines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The IIN-ELS Postgraduate Program in Neuroengineering has two lines of research: Brain-Machine Interface (BMI)<\/strong>, which is an area whose objective is to establish direct communication between the nervous system and robotic, electronic or computational artifacts through the use of neurophysiological signals and brain micro-stimulation. The development of ICM has great therapeutic and technological potential for a variety of neurological diseases, which dramatically affect motor function, such as paralysis, Parkinson's disease and stroke.<\/p>\n

The other line of research is neuromodulation<\/strong>, which consists of the implantation of devices in the central or peripheral nervous system, which release an agent (chemical, biological or physical) to promote an effect of reestablishing, modulating, inhibiting or increasing nervous system functions. Neuromodulation with electrical stimulation has currently been used to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's and essential tremor, Tourette's syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain, depression, Alzheimer's and cerebral coma, but there are still countless possibilities for research and technological development.<\/p>\n
