Advanced Topics in Microelectronics: Sensory Information Processing
ENEE 719P Syllabus

Tools and techniques for studying information processing in natural sensory organs and in engineered sensory microsystems operating under physical constraints such as power limitations or performance requirements. Topics covered include: information theory; integrated microelectronic transducers, devices, and circuits; biological transducers, devices and circuits; noise theory in biological and electronic systems; modeling techniques for biological and electronic devices and systems; performance measures; energy cost of information processing; signal representations; and specific sensory applications such as vision and audition. Each student will complete a design project addressing an information processing problem in a specific sensory domain. Projects involving the design of integrated electronic circuitry can be submitted to MOSIS for fabrication. This course encourages multidisciplinary participation and will be offered to graduate students in both the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Graduate Program.
