Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Bereich der Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstellen (BCI) und dem einzigartigen und besonderen Umfeld aktiver Implantate, die eine elektrische Schnittstelle zum Gehirn, zum Rückenmark, zu peripheren Nerven und zu Organen bilden. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die Heilung und Rehabilitation von Patienten mit schweren neurologischen Beeinträchtigungen, von Lähmungen bis hin zu Bewegungsstörungen und Epilepsie, die oft eine invasive Lösung auf der Grundlage eines implantierten Geräts erfordern. Frühere Errungenschaften, aktuelle Arbeiten und Zukunftsperspektiven von BCI und anderen Interaktionen zwischen medizinischen Geräten und dem menschlichen Nervensystem werden aus pragmatischer Sicht ausführlich beschrieben. gibt einen Überblick über die Branche der aktiven implantierbaren medizinischen Geräte (AIMDs) und wie sie sich von kardialen zu neurologischen Anwendungen entwickelt Klare, leicht zu lesende Darstellung des Bereichs der Neurotechnologien zum Nutzen des Menschen Bietet leicht verständliche Erklärungen zu den technischen Grenzen, den physikalischen Eigenschaften von Implantaten im menschlichen Körper und realistischen langfristigen Perspektiven
