Bionics is an interdisciplinary field integrating knowledge of biology, cybernetics, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and technological sciences. The living systems and their parts are seen as technological constructions in which the structure-function relationship was precisely designed during evolution to execute specialized tasks. Specialized lecture on interdisciplinary field of biology, cybernetics, technological sciences, etc. Obligatory for neurobiology, facultative for animal physiology and other interested students of MSc degree. Course is recommended for 9th semester (winter terms) as a subsequent course for course "Neurobiology" (B150P36, 5th semester), course "Physiology of senses" (B150P28, 8th semestr) and course "Bioelectric phenomena and their mesurement" (P150P30, 6th semestr).
