Brain-Machine Interface

This book provides an introduction to the emerging area of “Brain-Machine Interfaces,” with emphasis on the operation and practical design aspects. The comprehensive review and design analysis will be very helpful for researchers who are new to this area or interested in the study of the brain. This book provides an introduction to the emerging area of “Brain-Machine Interfaces,” with emphasis on the operation and practical design aspects. The book will help both electrical & bioengineers as well as neuroscience investigators to learn about the next generation brain-machine interfaces. The comprehensive review and design analysis will be very helpful for researchers who are new to this area or interested in the study of the brain. The in-depth discussion of practical design issues especially in animal experiments will also be valuable for experienced researchers. Provides readers with background on brain-machine interfaces, a summary of design requirements, and circuit and system design examples; Presents the first comprehensive study of closed-loop bidirectional BMI’s for freely behaving animals; Demonstrates the first reported portable system to provide all necessary hardware for a closed-loop sensorimotor neural interf ace; many innovations in the circuit design optimized for the characteristics of neural interface and electrode-electrolyte interface.
