Summary:

Based on a foundation of fundamental science and empirical observation, engineering research and design is transforming science fiction into science fact. It is conceivable that, in the not too distant future, the blind will see and the paralyzed will walk. The convergence of neuroscience and technology is facilitating the development of therapies that not long ago would have seemed unimaginable, if not impossible. With contributions from a sampling of pioneers in industry, academia, and clinical medicine, Neuroengineering provides an understanding of the history, physiology, and the most promising engineering technologies.

We are on the cusp of a technological revolution that holds promise to have more of an impact on human health, disease, and quality of life than any other development in recent history. Its impact on medicine and society promises to be as dramatic as that of the development of antibiotics. The transition of neural engineering from basic research to intense commercialization and widespread clinical application and acceptance is occurring now. Providing in-depth coverage of an enormous quantity of cutting-edge developments in technology and clinical practice, Neuroengineering presents detailed descriptions of fundamental science, emerging technologies, and clinical results that form the foundation of the future of neural engineering.
