Neural engineering
Neural engineering (also known as neuroengineering) is a discipline within biomedical engineering that uses engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, or enhance neural systems. Neural engineers are uniquely qualified to solve design problems at the interface of living neural tissue and non-living constructs.
The field of neural engineering draws on the fields of computational neuroscience, experimental neuroscience, neurology, electrical engineering and signal processing of living neural tissue, and encompasses elements from robotics, cybernetics, computer engineering, neural tissue engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology.
Prominent goals in the field include restoration and augmentation of human function via direct interactions between the nervous system and artificial devices, with an emphasis on quantitative methodology and engineering practices. Other prominent goals include better neuro imaging capabilities and the interpretation of neural abnormalities through quantitative data.
Much current research is focused on understanding the coding and processing of information in the sensory and motor systems, quantifying how this processing is altered in the pathological state, and how it can be manipulated through interactions with artificial devices including brain–computer interfaces and neuroprosthetics. Other examples are neuromorphic encoding, which can restore normal sensory inputs for amputees through sending electrical impulses to the brain through a transcutaneous nerve stimulation machine. Also, in order to better understand muscle intent, neuroengineers use myographic decoding through pattern recognition via electromyography.
Other research concentrates more on investigation by experimentation, including the use of neural implants connected with external technology.
Neurohydrodynamics is a division of neural engineering that focuses on hydrodynamics of the neurological system.
Traditional Roman and Egyptian medicine used artificial neuromodulation methods thousands of years ago to repair and enhance neural systems. They used the electrical properties of animals for therapeutic purposes. According to an interpretation of frescoes in the tomb of the architect Ti at Saqqara, Egyptians used the Nile catfish (Synodontis batensoda and Malapterurus electricus) to stimulate tissue electrically. The first documented use of electrical stimulation for pain relief dates back to 46 AD when Scribonius Largus of the ancient Roman Empire used the electric properties of torpedo fish to relieve headaches.
The first implementation of electrocutical apparatus in medical treatment was recorded in Middlesex Hospital of London in 1767.
