Neuroprosthetics

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Neuroprosthetics is a discipline related to neuroscience and biomedical engineering concerned with developing neural prostheses. Neural prostheses are a series of devices that can substitute a motor, sensory or cognitive modality that might have been damaged as a result of an injury or a disease. An example of such devices is Cochlear implants. This device substitutes the functions performed by the ear drum, Stapes, frequency analysis in the cochlea and stimulates the auditory nerves directly. A microphone on an external unit gathers the sound and processes it, the processed signal is then transferred to an implanted unit that stimulates the auditory nerves through a microelectrode array.
