Preface
There has been tremendous progress in the engineering of tools designed to interact with the nervous systems—from signal detection and processing to restoration and enhancement of function. Neural engineering (or its equivalent, neuroengineering) is a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field bridging neuroscience and engineering. It spans cellular, tissue, and systems level research, and has become a core discipline within biomedical engineering and beyond. This book is aimed at serving as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate level courses in neural engineering within a biomedical engineering or bioengineering curriculum. It is our intent to provide a comprehensive review of the principles, concepts, theories, methods, and state-of-the-art research in selected areas of neural engineering. It is also suitable as an introduction to engineers or neuroscientists who are interested in entering the field of neural engineering or acquiring knowledge about the current state of the art in this rapidly developing discipline. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to human neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. The chapter was written mainly for readers with backgrounds in engineering and physical sciences. While readers who are familiar with neuroanatomy and neurophysiology may skip this chapter, it wil
