Advances in electronics have revolutionized diagnostic tools and created mobile medicine, touch-sensitive prosthetics, remote surgery, and artificial organs such as hearts, retinas, and bionic skins.
This reference text shows the number of ways in which electronic engineering feeds into neuromedicine namely: the modelling and simulation of the brain, providing access to the brain, analysis of the signals and activities of the brain and influencing the function of the brain for therapeutic purposes. The areas of electronic engineering considered are electronic circuits, spectral analysis, filtering of signals, electromagnetic fields and wave propagation. The book is a valuable source to medical students and practitioners as well as electronic engineering and physics students and graduates.
Key Features:
- Highlights the interaction between electronic engineers and neuroscientists, leading to the establishment of the important disciplines of neural signal processing and neural engineering
- Presents direct applications of electronic engineering in neural medicine
- Discusses recent advances in the interplay between electronic engineering and neuroscience
- Written with easily accessible analytical content, appealing for non-experts and interdisciplinary fields
