Neural engineering is a discipline that uses engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, enhance, or treat diseases of neural systems. Currently, no book other than this one covers this broad range of topics within motor rehabilitation technology. With a focus on cutting edge technology, it describes state-of-the-art methods within this field, from brain-computer interfaces to spinal and cortical plasticity. Touching on electrode design, signal processing, the neurophysiology of movement, robotics, and much more, this innovative volume collects the latest information for a wide...

Reflects on developments in noninvasive electromyography, and includes advances and applications in signal detection, processing and interpretation

• Addresses EMG imaging technology together with the issue of decomposition of surface EMG
• Includes advanced single and multi-channel techniques for information extraction from surface EMG signals
• Presents the analysis and information extraction of surface EMG at various scales, from motor units to the concept of muscle synergies.
