In this module, users will learn about the different types of neurotechnology and how each of them works. This will be done through the metaphor of going to a symphony... in your brain. Like a symphony, brain processes emerge from collections of neural activity. This video encourages us to imagine ourselves moving to different areas in the concert hall to understand where different technologies interface. Once the concert ends, we talk about underlying neural mechanisms and technology that allow researchers and innovators to interact with the brain.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 10:49
Speaker: : Harrison Canning

This module addresses how neurotechnology is currently used for medical and non-medical applications, and how it might advance in the future.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:57
Speaker: : Colin Fausnaught

This module covers a brief history of the neurotechnology industry, bringing the history of brain-computer interfacing to life through engaging skits and stories. 

Difficulty level: Beginner

Speaker: : Colin Fausnaught

This module covers many types of invasive neurotechnology devices/interfaces for the central and peripheral nervous systems. Invasive neurotech devices are crucial, as they often provide the greatest accuracy and long-term use applicability.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 9:40
Speaker: : Colin Fausnaught

This module covers many of the types of non-invasive neurotech and neuroimaging devices including electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), electroneurography (ENG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and more.
