Handbook of Neural Engineering 

An important new work establishing a foundation for future
developments in neural engineering

The Handbook of Neural Engineering provides theoretical
foundations in computational neural science and engineering and
current applications in wearable and implantable neural
sensors/probes. Inside, leading experts from diverse disciplinary
groups representing academia, industry, and private and government
organizations present peer-reviewed contributions on the
brain-computer interface, nano-neural engineering, neural
prostheses, imaging the brain, neural signal processing, the brain,
and neurons.

The Handbook of Neural Engineering covers:

* Neural signal and image processing–the analysis and modeling
of neural activity and EEG-related activities using the nonlinear
and nonstationary analysis methods, including the chaos, fractal,
and time-frequency and time-scale analysis methods–and how to
measure functional, physiological, and metabolic activities in the
human brain using current and emerging medical imaging
technologies

* Neuro-nanotechnology, artificial implants, and neural
prosthesis–the design of multi-electrode arrays to study how the
neurons of human and animals encode stimuli, the evaluation of
functional changes in neural networks after stroke and spinal cord
injuries, and improvements in therapeutic applications using neural
prostheses

* Neurorobotics and neural rehabilitation engineering–the recent
developments in the areas of biorobotic system, biosonar head, limb
kinematics, and robot-assisted activity to improve the treatment of
elderly subjects at the hospital and home, as well as the
interactions of the neuron chip, neural information processing,
perception and neural dynamics, learning memory and behavior,
biological neural networks, and neural control
