Based on a foundation of science and empirical observation,
engineering research and design has brought science fiction into
science fact. 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 pioneers in industry, academia, and clinical medicine,
Neuroengineering provides an understanding of the history,
physiology and the most promising engineering technologies. The
book presents clinical applications of neuromodulation and a
detailed review of the science and mechanisms of action underlying
deep brain stimulation. Contributions include discussions of
seizure control, clinical, surgical, and technological aspects of
responsive neurostimulation, and a thorough review of spinal cord
stimulation for pain control. The book highlights promising
technologies and applications for neural augmentation, brain and
computer interfaces, and motor protheses. It concludes with
coverage of the science underlying current neurostimulation
techniques and new paradigm-shifting neuromodulation technologies.
We are on the cusp of a technological revolution that promises to
have more of an impact on human health, disease, and quality of
life than any other 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 just around the corner. Providing
in-depth coverage of cutting-edge developments in technology and
clinical practice, the book presents detailed descriptions of
technologies, science, and clinical results that build a foundation
for the future.
