神经工程

在物理科学中，神经工程学是新兴的、用工程技术研究中枢和周围神经系统的功能并操作其行为的交叉学科研究领域。该领域从计算神经科学、实验神经科学、临床的神经病学、电子工程学和活神经组织的信号处理等领域汲取养分，并包含了机器人学、计算机工程学、组织工程学、材料科学和纳米技术等学科中的一些内容What is Neural Engineering? http://iopscience.iop.org/1741-2552/4/4/E01 。

 概述 
神经工程的两大目标是通过神经系统和人造设备间的沟通来修复和增强人体的功能。当前的研究主要着眼于：
 探明感覺系統和運動系統編碼和處理訊息的机制
 定量研究这些机制在病理的状态下发生的变化
 研究如何通过腦機介面、神经修复等途径操纵这些正常和病变的机制

神经工程是一个新兴学科，相关的文献资料较为有限，但正在迅速增长中。第一份专门针对神经工程学的学术期刊是2004年创刊的神经工程学杂志（The Journal of Neural Engineering） 。最早产生的专门针对该领域的学术会议是2003年于意大利卡普里岛举办的首届国际神经工程学大会。
