Preface
The frontiers of medical technology that are currently being explored are unparalleled. Scientists, engineers, and clinicians are pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of human neurobiology and applying this new knowledge in truly innovative ways. All of these explorations and advances have been focused toward solving some of medicine’s most intractable problems. Nowhere has the rapid growth and advancement of high tech solutions been more prevalent than in the use of advanced engineering techniques for the study of neural tissue repair, stimulation, and disease. This premier edition of Neural Engineering: From Advanced Biomaterials to 3D Fabrication Techniques encompasses an extensive body of knowledge including various cutting-edge topics related to neural engineering. Specifically, the contributions detail the state of the art in the use of advanced 3D bioprinting, stem cells, conductive materials, nanomaterials, neural modeling, and brain machine interfaces as appl
