The interaction between humans and computers is one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary society. Subtleties of this communication require that human-computer interfaces are conceptualized and tested by highly specialized experts. Here we describe a novel academic course for human-oriented designers and project managers, with the emphasis being put on the communication between the human brain and computer. Outcomes of the course were validated on 12 course participants both: qualitatively -- educational experience, and quantitatively -- outcomes of a project and final exam. T-test comparison revealed that students who participated in the course gained specialized knowledge, as compared to students who did not take part in the course. Moreover, students generally agreed that the course was helpful and interesting, however, about one-third of them considered the course hard. All in all, we find our brain-computer interfaces course useful in instructing specialist oriented on the human-factor of the communication between human and the machine.
