Neural Prostheses for Restoration of Sensory and Motor Function

by John K. Chapin (Editor), Karen A. Moxon (Editor)

Overview

The prospect of interfacing the nervous system with electronic devices to stimulate or record from neural tissue suggests numerous possibilities in the field of neuroprosthetics. While the creation of a "six million dollar man" may still be far into the future, neural prostheses are rapidly becoming viable theories for a broad range of patients wit

Editorial Reviews

Nine contributions written by specialists in neurobiology, anatomy, biomedical engineering, neurokinesiology, electrical engineering, and other fields provide detailed technical descriptions of neural prosthetic devices, outline the scientific and clinical applications of neural prosthetic devices, address the scientific, technological, and medical significance of neural prosthetics, and present recent advances in research concerning novel devices to restore sensory and motor function in patients with neural damage, as well as discussing brain control of neural prostheses. A selection of chapters includes techniques, perspectives, and prospects for intraspinal microstimulation; how to use nerve cuffs to stimulate, record, or modulate neural activity; and designing a brain-machine interface for neuroprosthetic control.
