Students working with the Willie Laboratory for Behavioral Neuromodulation will have contact with patients and work as part of a multidisciplinary collaboration of physicians, engineers, and neurophysiologists.

Students will also learn about disease processes such as epilepsy, PTSD, depression, and narcolepsy. Additionally, they will learn behavioral task coding and implementation, neurophysiology signal processing, and closed-loop responsive neuromodulation techniques.
