Neuroengineering is a sub-discipline of biomedical engineering. It focuses on understanding, repairing, replacing, or enhancing the neural system. Neural engineering employs concepts from other related fields such as computational neuroscience, experimental neuroscience, clinical neurology, electrical engineering and signal processing of living neural tissue. It also encompasses certain aspects of robotics, cybernetics, computer engineering, neural tissue engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology. The objective of this field is to restore and enhance the functions of the human body through direct interactions between the nervous system and artificial devices. Research on neuroengineering uses devices to study the functioning of nervous system and its malfunctions. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neuroengineering. Most of the topics introduced here cover new techniques and the applications of this field. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts of neuroengineering.
