This course appears to ignore a large portion of the field, such as the intracortical recordings used by Braingate [1] and all of the neural prosthetics work using implanted electrodes. The methods are quite different since EEG is incredibly noisy and low bandwidth in comparison to more invasive sensors.

- kcoul 12y agoI'm of two minds on that note: On one hand, I somehow feel it's appropriate that an open online course limit itself to methods that are accessible outside of medical research labs and hospitals. On the other hand, I agree completely that someone could walk away after taking this course, never understanding that they would be dealing with a quality of data of considerably lower fidelity, to the point where failing to take that variable into account could easily lead to false conclusions. Maybe this is why part of me is "glad" I cracked my head open at a young age and still have a significant gap there in the skull bone - I can get higher amplitude signal placing an electrode there than anywhere else on my head!
