This is an updated and abridged edition of the original volume
published in 2004. Like its predecessor it is targeted for students
of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, applied physiology,
biological cybernetics and related fields; for engineers and
scientists who have an interest in neuroprosthetics; and for
medical practitioners using products of that field.The practice of
neuroprosthetics requires a fundamental understanding of the
anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, mathematical
neurobiology, material science, electrochemistry, and
electrophysiology. The text assumes some familiarity with basic
anatomy, physiology, calculus, electrophysiology and
bioinstrumentation, which typically are covered in undergraduate
and first year graduate bioengineering curricula. These areas are
also reviewed here, with the aim of consolidating principles
fundamental to understanding the field. With that as background,
the book then presents an overview of the field with detailed
emphasis in selected areas of neural interfaces and
neuroprostheses. The covered topics provide readers with sufficient
information to understand the theory, rationale, design, and
functioning of neuroprosthetic devices currently in clinical use
and under development.The current volume is shorter than its
predecessor. This has been achieved by reducing some of the
repetition present in certain chapters of the earlier edition and
eliminating a few chapters whose topics are now well covered in
review literature readily available on the internet and elsewhere.
Two chapters have been retained in their original versions to
provide important background material, but the remaining chapters
have either been revised by their original authors or replaced by
new versions written by different authors. In addition new topics
have been added to the section on existing systems.
