Advances in Motor Neuroprostheses Isaac Anderson

Neuroprotheses are the devices that are used to replace lost nervous system functions. They provide stimulated hand and arm function and are considered an effective method for restoring function. The discipline which relates biomedical engineering and neuroscience, and is concerned with the development of neural prostheses, is known as neuroprosthetics. Neuroprostheses include a series of devices that can replace sensory, motor or cognitive modality that has been damaged due to a disease or injury. Motor neuroprosthesis involves the usage of electrical stimulation of neural structures. It can be used for the patients suffering from a stroke. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of neuroprotheses. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about this field. This book will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up.
