The book reports on advanced topics in the areas of neurorehabilitation research and practice.
It focuses on new methods for interfacing the human nervous system with electronic and
mechatronic systems to restore or compensate impaired neural functions. Importantly the book
merges different perspectives such as the clinical neurophysiological and bioengineering
ones to promote feed and encourage collaborations between clinicians neuroscientists and
engineers. Based on the 2016 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation (ICNR 2016) held
on October 18-21 2016 in Segovia Spain this book covers various aspects of
neurorehabilitation research and practice including new insights into biomechanics brain
physiology neuroplasticity and brain damages and diseases as well as innovative methods and
technologies for studying and or recovering brain function from data mining to interface
technologies and neuroprosthetics. In this way it offers a concise yet comprehensive
reference guide to neurosurgeons rehabilitation physicians neurologists and bioengineers.
Moreover by highlighting current challenges in understanding brain diseases as well as in the
available technologies and their implementation the book is also expected to foster new
collaborations between the different groups thus stimulating new ideas and research
directions.
