This book covers recent advances in neural technology that provide
for enhancements for brain function. It addresses a broad range of
neural phenomena occurring in the brain circuits involved in
perception, cognition, emotion and action, that represent the
building blocks of behavior and cognition. Augmentation of brain
function can be achieved by using brain implants for recordings,
stimulation, or drug delivery. Alternative methods include
employing brain-machine interfaces, as well as noninvasive
activation of certain brain areas. This volume evaluates existing
methods of brain augmentation while discussing the brain circuitry
and neuronal mechanisms that make augmentation possible. This
volume offers novel insights into brain disorders, and explores new
devices for brain repair while also addressing the philosophical
and ethical implications of brain augmentation. The information in
this book is relevant to researchers in the fields of neuroscience,
engineering, and clinical practice. Advance Praise for Modern
Approaches to Augmentation of Brain Function: "This impressive book
by leading experts in neuroscience and neuroengineering lays out
the future of brain augmentation, in which the human mind and
machine merge, leading to a rapid exponential growth of the power
of humanity." Ray Kurzweil, best-selling author, inventor,
entrepreneur and a recipient of the National Medal of Technology
and Innovation (1999), and the Lemelson-MIT Prize (2001) "This book
employs a holistic approach in covering the recent advances in the
fields of neuroscience, neuroinformatics, neurotechnology and
neuro-psycho-pharmacology. Each chapter of the book covers major
aspects of modern brain research in connection with the human mind
and behavior, and is authored by researchers with unique expertise
in their field. " Ioan Dumitrache, Prof. Dr. Eng. Faculty of
Computer Science, Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Bucharest,
Romania "This book presents compelling perspectives on what
interactive neuroscience will look like in the future, delving into
the innovatory ideas of a diverse set of neuroscientists, and
speculating on the different ways computer chips implanted in the
brains of humans can effect intelligence and communication."
Gyoergy Buzsaki, MD, PhD is the Biggs Professor of Neuroscience,
NYU School of Medicine, New York, NY
