EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Interest in developing an effective communication interface connecting the human brain and a computer has grown rapidly over the past decade. The brain-computer interface (BCI) would allow humans to operate computers, wheelchairs, prostheses, and other devices, using brain signals only. BCI research may someday provide a communication channel for patients with severe physical disabilities but intact cognitive functions, a working tool in computational neuroscience that contributes to a better understanding of the brain, and a novel independent interface for human-machine communication that offers new options for monitoring and control. This volume presents a timely overview of the latest BCI research, with contributions from many of the important research groups in the field. The book covers a broad range of topics, describing work on both noninvasive (that is, without the implantation of electrodes) and invasive approaches. Other chapters discuss relevant techniques from machine learning and signal processing, existing software for BCI, and possible applications of BCI research in the real world.

Interacción cerebro-computador by R. amayo (Chile) 5 Stars
October 06, 2007
Excelente libro sobre el estado del arte de esta disciplina. Lo recomiendo como textbook para aquellos que estén interesados en este campo de investigación. En él se revisan temas como los software más utilizados, técnicas de captación tanto invasivas como no invasivas (electroencefalografía) y acercamientos a potenciales usos. En resumen un libro muy completo. Marcos Chilet B. Diseño,Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.

Toward Replacement Parts for the Brain: Implantable Biomimetic Electronics as Neural Prostheses (Bradford Books)
by Theodore W. Berger (Editor), Dennis L. Glanzman (Editor)

The continuing development of implantable neural prostheses signals a new era in bioengineering and neuroscience research. This collection of essays outlines current advances in research on the intracranial implantation of devices that can communicate with the brain in order to restore sensory, motor, or cognitive functions. The contributors explore the creation of biologically realistic mathematical models of brain function, the production of microchips that incorporate those models, and the...

Brain-Machine Interface Engineering (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)
by Jose Principe (Author), Justin C. Sanchez (Author), John Enderle (Editor)

Neural interfaces are one of the most exciting emerging technologies to impact bioengineering and neuroscience because they enable an alternate communication channel linking directly the nervous system with man-made devices. This book reveals the essential engineering principles and signal processing tools for deriving control commands from bioelectric signals in large ensembles of neurons. The topics featured include analysis techniques for determining neural representation, modeling in motor...

Electric Fields of the Brain: The Neurophysics of EEG

Electric Fields of the Brain: The Neurophysics of EEG
by Paul L. Nunez (Author), Ramesh Srinivasan (Author)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is practiced by neurologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and others interested in functional brain imaging. Whether for clinical or experimental purposes, all studies share a common purpose-to relate scalp potentials to the underlying neurophysiology. Electrical potentials on the scalp exhibit spatial and temporal patterns that depend on the nature and location of the sources and the way that currents and fields spread through tissue. Because these dynamic patterns...

Neuroengineering the Future: Virtual Minds and the Creation of Immortality (Computer Science)
by Bruce F. Katz (Author)

We are on the cusp of a broad revolution, one with startling implications for perception, cognition, emotion, and indeed, personal identity. Still in its relative infancy, this rapidly progressing field is poised to move from perceptual aids such as cochlear implants to devices that will enhance and speed up thought to the ultimate goal of researchers, that of downloading the mind from its bound state in the body to a platform-independent existence. This controversial book describes the science...
