Computational Methods in Neuroengineering

Abstract

euroengineering is an emerging discipline in the field of medical and biological engineering with the aim of understanding, modulating, enhancing, or repairing neuronal systems, which are obviously the most complex systems of the human body. During the last decade or so, neuroengineering has been growing rapidly and expanded its applications from interpreting and processing neuronal signals to interfacing the neural systems with external devices to restore lost functions. Despite its short history, neuroengineering has now become one of the most important topics in the current biomedical engineering research. As in other interdisciplinary fields, computational methods have played key roles in the development of neuroengineering.
