Preface
The book Application of Biomedical Engineering in Neuroscience creates a bridge between engineering and medicine. Usually, engineers develop novel tools and technologies, which are used by practitioners, doctors, clinicians, etc. In a country like India, we develop various prototypes/ideas/approaches, and then, with the help of industries/entrepreneurs/MSMES, these are used to develop and reconstruct tools for human applications. Obviously, ethical approval is needed so that doctors can use those products. There are several subbranches in biomedical engineering; one of the main areas of focus is the nervous system (the brain) and the science behind it, called “neuroscience.” The brain forms a major part of the central nervous system and serves as the central processing unit of the body. Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary branch of biology that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, mathematical modeling, and psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits. Neuroscientists generally focus on the functional aspects of neuroscience, but there is a gap between the theoretical approaches and practical
