Neuroengineering or neural engineering is a field within biomedical engineering. It uses engineering techniques to repair, enhance, replace, understand or exploit the properties of neural systems. An important objective of this field is the augmentation and restoration of human function through direct interactions between artificial devices and the nervous system. Research is being conducted to develop an understanding of the coding and processing of information in the motor and sensory systems, how such processing is altered in the pathological state and how this can be manipulated using interactions with neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. The scope of neuroengineering is wide with applications in repair and rehabilitation, and neuromodulation. Neuroengineering and rehabilitation applies the principles of engineering and neuroscience for investigating the peripheral and central nervous system function. This can help in developing solutions for problems related to brain damage and brain malfunction. This book contains some path-breaking studies in neuroengineering and rehabilitation. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
