Description
Neuroprosthetics is a fast-growing area that brings together the fields of biomedical engineering and neuroscience as a means to interface the neural system directly to prostheses. Advancing research and applications in this field can assist in successfully restoring motor, sensory, and cognitive functions.
Emerging Theory and Practice in Neuroprosthetics brings together the most up-to-date research surrounding neuroprosthetics advances and applications. Presenting several new results, concepts, and further developments in the area of neuroprosthetics, this book is an essential publication for researchers, upper-level students, engineers, and medical practitioners.
Reviews and Testimonials
Contributors from electrical and biomedical engineering and from various medical specialties review the literature and present their own findings on prosthetics designed to restore motor, sensory, and cognitive functions. Among the topics are current applications and future directions of sensors for motor neuroprosthetics, models of cooperation between medical specialists and biomedical engineers in neuroprosthetics, applications for wireless brain-computer interface systems, brain-computer interfaces for the control of upper extremity neuroprostheses in individuals with high spinal cord injury, and practical artifact removal brain-computer interface system with applications to neuroprosthetics.
