This book focuses on interdisciplinary research in the field of
biomedical engineering and neuroscience. Biomedical engineering is a
vast field, ranging from bioengineering to brain-computer interfaces.
The book explores the system-level function and dysfunction of the
nervous system from scientific and engineering perspectives. The initial
sections introduce readers to the physiology of the brain, and to the
biomedical tools needed for diagnostics and effective therapies for
various neurodegenerative and regenerative disorders.
In turn, the book summarizes the biomedical interventions that are used
to understand the neural mechanisms underlying empathy disorders, and
reviews recent advances in biomedical engineering for rehabilitation in
connection with neurodevelopmental disorders and brain injuries. Lastly,
the book discusses innovations in machine learning and artificial
intelligence for computer-aided disease diagnosis and treatment, as well
as applications of nanotechnology in therapeutic neurology.
