Neuroengineering
Book (italiano):
The neurologically blind may not be able to see normally yet, nor the paralyzed to walk, but researchers are taking advantage of advances in technology and in neurological research to conduct significant new experiments. This collection of articles addresses the fundamental facts of the neural engineering and neurophysiology behind the experiments, and describes possible clinical fields and markets. Articles on neural modulation cover brain stimulation, interference with epileptic seizures (including patient selection and device implantation), stimulation of the brain and spinal cord as well as the motor cortex to treat pain, neural augmentation to create cochlear and visual prostheses, issues of motor prostheses (including brain-computer interfaces, implants and control devices), effector subsystem technologies for such conditions as paraplegia, and upcoming technologies.
