Course Title: Human Neurophysiology & Its Application in Medical Robotics
Course Objectives
1. To acquire a core scientific knowledge about human neurophysiology and joint
kinesiology
2. To be aware of current clinical rehabilitation and challenges
3. To understand current research on intuitive medical robot controls.
Topics covered:
• Nerve system & Neurophysiology:
1. Nerve signal generation and conduction
2. Peripheral nerve sensory and motor function
3. Brain wave (electroencephalography, EEG) recording, signal processing, and
analysis
4. Muscle contraction and bioelectricity (electromyography, EMG)
• Clinical rehabilitation in neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery
1. Brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and associated body dysfunction
2. Orthopedic rehabilitation
• Current Robotic Rehabilitation & Engineering
1. Human machine interface: electrodes, BCI, PNI, PMI etc.
2. HAPTIX: Hand prosthesis with proprioception
3. REWALK: re-walk-aiding exoskeleton
4. Brain wave controlled arm and hand
5. EMG control lower limb prosthesis
Teaching modalities:
Didactic lectures
Case-Based Studies
University/hospital touring, penal discussion.

Policies:
Attendance: Attendance will generally be taken at the beginning of each class. A student's
attendance record will be considered in the assessment of his/her commitment to learning the
course material.
Homework and Lab Assignments: Homework will be reviewed on its due date and will
therefore not be accepted late. Specific reporting details will be given at the time of lab
assignments. Lab assignments turned in late will be docked 5% per day. No assignments will be
accepted after 14 days.
Assigned Reading: It is always very helpful if you read the appropriate notes before the lecture.
Just skimming the material will allow you to follow the lectures much more easily and will help
your understanding.
Makeup Policy: If you must miss an exam, lab, or class due to exceptional circumstances, you
must inform me in advance. An exceptional circumstance would include documented medical
reasons or a legitimate emergency.
Academic Integrity: It is expected that all work submitted by students on homework, tests,
programs, and projects is the product of the student’s (or team's) own efforts. Cheating on
assignments will result in a grade of zero on that assignment for all parties involved. Cheating
on exams will carry the maximum penalty as prescribed by the student handbook. Students are
expected to conform to the Wayne State University Honor Code. Consult the following web site
and associated links for information on academic integrity: http://doso.wayne.edu/academicintegrity.html. Any violations of academic integrity will be recorded with the department and
result in grade-related penalties up to an including course grade F. Serious violations, and
anything involving an exam, will be reported to the Graduate Program Committee, Chair of the
Biomedical Engineering Department, and Dean of Students Office for further action up to and
including expulsion from the University and transcript notations.
Accommodations and Education Accessibility Services: If you feel you may need special
accommodations due to a disability or other life circumstances, please make an appointment to
see me or visit me during my office hours. If you have a documented disability that requires
accommodations, you will need to start with Student Disability Services for coordination of
your academic accommodations. This office is located at 1600 David Adamany Undergraduate
Library. SDS telephone number is 313-577-1851 or 313-577-3365 (TTY: telecommunication
device for the deaf; phone for hearing impaired students only). Once you have your
accommodations in place, I will be glad to meet with you privately during my office hours to
discuss your special needs. The Student Disability Services’ mission is to assist the university in
creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to
fully participate in their educational experience at Wayne State University.
