Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to provide students with knowledge of structure

and basic functions of brain, receptors' information processing. Further

significance of adaptation and learning, its importance, realization and use

in biosystems and technical systems. Attention is paid to the interaction

brain-body, coordination of motion and the man-machine interface.

Requirements:

Conditions for approval: presence in seminars and labs, measurements,

presentation of solved task
