In the past 50 years there has been an explosion of interest in the
development of technologies whose end goal is to connect the human
brain and/or nervous system directly to computers. Once the subject
of science fiction, the technologies necessary to accomplish this
goal are rapidly becoming reality. In laboratories around the
globe, research is being undertaken to restore function to the
physically disabled, to replace areas of the brain damaged by
disease or trauma and to augment human abilities. Building neural
interfaces and neuro-prosthetics relies on a diverse array of
disciplines such as neuroscience, engineering, medicine and
microfabrication just to name a few. This book presents a short
history of neural interfacing (N.I.) research and introduces the
reader to some of the current efforts to develop neural prostheses.
The book is intended as an introduction for the college freshman or
others wishing to learn more about the field. A resource guide is
included for students along with a list of laboratories conducting
N.I. research and universities with N.I. related tracks of study.
