The Nature of Biohybrid Systems
06.04.01 Biology
The Master's programme trains a new generation of researchers at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and engineering. It focuses on brain processes, hybrid intelligence and brain–device interfaces, with two tracks — "Biohybrid Systems" and "Neurointerfaces". The programme combines intensive laboratory practice with full-cycle research projects in Russian and English.
