Sensory and Motor Neuroprostheses

Originally developed around hearing aids (middle ear implants, cochlear implants, brainstem implants), this program aims to expand its scope of training to include sensory neuroprostheses (visual implants) and motor neuroprostheses (stimulators). This program offers in-depth training in the fields of neurostimulation, implantable prostheses, prosthetic fitting, and sensory and motor functional assessment. This training addresses a need recognized by all stakeholders—physicians, neuroprosthetists, and healthcare professionals—who are seeking a solid education in the field of neuroprosthetics. Such training requires knowledge that cannot be acquired in just three years. The development of implantable prostheses and the specific needs of the populations for whom they are intended necessitate additional, career-oriented university training at the master’s level (Bac+5), which may lead to doctoral studies.
