Opis

Rapidly growing knowledge in systems neuroscience may contribute to expand the range of activities in persons with disabilities, but in its practical application, cooperation between experts in different research fields is necessary. In this conference, the guest speakers and audiences will be from wide range of research fields; e.g., systems-neuroscience, neurology, engineering, psychology, and the attendees will discuss the possibilities.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This is a collection of articles centered on systems neuroscience. The material serves as a knowledge base underpinning current research in brain machine interface and neurorehabilitation. ... Aimed at researchers in the neurorehabilitation sphere, the book is based on material presented at the Conference on Systems Neuroscience and Rehabilitation. ... This is an excellent snapshot of ongoing work in the area of neurorehabilitation from the vantage point of systems neuroscience." (Joseph I. Sirven, Doody's Review Service, December, 2011)
