The Stem Student Union has obtained professionally developed instrumentation with a pedagogic learning system (from BioPac) so that students can methodically and formally learn about psychophysiology and neurophysiology. Students perform laboratory exercises to conduct basic physiology experiments using ECG, EEG, EMG, and EOG for the purpose of studying Muscular, Cardiovascular, Neurophysiology and Biomedical Engineering topics.
In addition, the Stem Student Union has obtained equipment (from OpenBCI) that is designed to encourage original experimentation and product engineering in the development of software and hardware in the field of brain computer interfaces.
In order to be qualified to use the equipment of this project, students must pass a rigorous safety training program.
This project will pool the interests of students from a wide range of disciplines. Not only will it attract students who may be studying Biology or Psychology while at Bergen who are ultimately interested in medical careers, but via projects that involve brain-computer interfaces, these projects can also attract the interest of Computer Science majors and Engineering majors.
