Clinical Systems Neuroscience Gebunden

The impaired brain has often been difficult to rehabilitate owing to limited knowledge of the brain system. Recently advanced imaging techniques such as fMRI and MEG have allowed researchers to investigate spatiotemporal dynamics in the living human brain. Consequently knowledge in systems neuroscience is now rapidly growing. Advanced techniques have found practical application by providing new prosthetics such as brain-machine interfaces expanding the range of activities of persons with disabilities or the elderly. The book's chapters are authored by researchers from various research fie lds such as systems neuroscience rehabilitation neurology psychology and engineering. The book explores the latest advancements in neurorehabilitation plasticity and brain-machine interfaces among others and constitutes a solid foundation for researchers who aim to contribute to the science of brain function disabilities and ultimately to the well-being of patients and the elderly worldwide.
