ISBN: 9812380221 ISBN-13: 9789812380227 Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $382.85 Product Type: Hardcover Published: February 2004 Annotation: Neuroprosthetics has been an area of intense interest and continued progress since the introduction of the cardiac pacemaker in 1932. Subsequently, we witnessed the development of cochlear prostheses, techniques for bladder and bowel control, deep brain stimulation, and methods of restoring mobility to paralyzed individuals. This book will be invaluable to graduate students, clinicians and researchers in neuroprosthetics. It is broadly divided into three sections: Section 1 provides pertinent background information on neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, biomaterials and biocompatibility, stimulation and recording techniques; Section 2 describes current clinical applications of neuroprosthetics; Section 3 focuses on future developments in the field. |

| Publisher Description: Neuroprosthetics is an area of intense scientific and clinical interest and rapid progress. Since the introduction of the cardiac pacemaker in 1932, we have seen developments that include cochlear prostheses, techniques for bladder and bowel control, deep brain stimulation, and restoration of mobility and respiration to paralyzed individuals.The chapters in this book have been contributed by authors who are recognized internationally in their fields. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date review that will be invaluable to graduate students, clinicians and researchers in neuroprosthetics. It is broadly divided into three sections: Section 1 provides a core of knowledge that forms a foundation for the rest of the book, and covers the basics of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, biomaterials and biocompatibility, stimulation and recording techniques; Section 2 describes current clinical applications of neuroprosthetics; Section 3 looks at future developments in the field. |
