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 with injury or disease of the nervous system.
Neural Prostheses for Restoration of Sensory and Motor Function
presents a general review of exciting scientific discoveries that
show the feasibility of using electronic devices to restore motor
function in paralyzed patients. The book is divided into two
sections. The first section details some of the most successful
sensory and motor prosthetic devices available. It pays particular
attention to the present usefulness and future promise of these
devices. It explores different approaches to the use of functional
electrical stimulation for the restoration of motor control. The
second section highlights the growing field of brain-implantable
devices for the control of artificial prosthetic devices or neural
prosthetics. It considers the possible scientific and clinical
advantages of using implanted devices to record signals from the
nervous system and the use of those signals for the restoration of
neurological function. The book presents research data that relates
to the feasibility of using brain-controlled neurorobotic devices.
It offers a new perspective on the practice of combining
neurochemical and neurophysiological information to create
prosthetic control devices that restore chemical balance to the
brain. Neural Prostheses for Restoration of Sensory and Motor
Function examines several different types of neural prosthetic
devices as well as recent advances in research for novel devices to
restore sensory and motor function in patients with neural damage.
It provides authoritative information on neural prosthetic
techniques and applications - specifica
