Description & Coverage
Description:

New developments in medical technology have paved the way for the ongoing studies of cognitive neuroscience and biomedical engineering for healthcare. Their different but interconnected aspects of science and technology seek to provide new solutions for difficult healthcare problems and impact the future of the quality of life.

Biomedical Engineering and Cognitive Neuroscience for Healthcare: Interdisciplinary Applications brings together researchers and practitioners, including medical doctors and health professionals, to provide an overview of the studies of cognitive neuroscience and biomedical engineering for healthcare. This book aims to be a reference for researchers in the related field aiming to bring benefits to their own research.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Biomechatronics and Healthcare
  • Biomedical Image Processing
  • Biomedical Robotics for Healthcare
  • Cognitive Neuroscience and Healthcare
  • Cognitive Science and Healthcare
  • EEG/ERP Cognitive Neuroscience and Healthcare
  • Imaging Cognitive Neuroscience and Healthcare
  • Mental Health
  • Sustainable Materials and Techniques in Healthcare
  • Technology in Rehabilitation
Reviews & Statements

Engineers, medical doctors, health professionals, and neuroscientists, and computer and information scientists explore applications of information systems, artificial intelligence, signal processing, electronics, and other engineering tools to cognitive neuroscience, which investigate the neural mechanics of mental processes. Among their topics are motion control of omni-directional walker for walking support, cross-modal interactions in visual competition, the effects of the fixation cue in inhibition of return, self-body recognition and its impairment, language processing in the human brain of literate and illiterate subjects, evaluating olfactory impairment in Parkinson's disease using near-infrared spectroscopy, neural mechanisms of audiovisual integration in integrated processing for verbal perception and spatial factors, and speed-accuracy tradeoff models of target-based and trajectory-based movements.
