Biosystems & Biorobotics Converging Clinical and Engineering Research on Neurorehabilitation IV: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference Book 28 (Paperback)

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 2020 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation (ICNR 2020) held online on October 13-16 2020 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.
