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 integration of microchip
and brain function through neuron-silicon interfaces. Recent developments in understanding
the computational and cognitive properties of the brain and rapid advances in biomedical
and computer engineering both contribute to this cutting-edge research.
