Course detail
FEKT-MPA-APNAcad. year: 2026/2027
The lecture series begins with introducing the nervous system and the fundamentals of how it can be measured or altered via interventions. The second part of the course focuses on specific topics in neurological diseases with details on the current state of the art and emerging treatment methods which exploit neuromodulation techniques. Série přednášek začíná představením nervového systému a základů jeho měření nebo ovlivňování pomocí intervencí. Druhá část kurzu se zaměřuje na specifická témata neurologických onemocnění s podrobnostmi o současném stavu techniky a nově vznikajících léčebných metodách, které využívají neuromodulační techniky.

Individual preparation for laboratories
Students are provided with prepared study materials for each laboratory. They are expected to study these materials independently in advance and, if necessary, look for additional information in lecture presentations or use other sources.
