ABSTRACT


For many years, the idea of a human with bionic muscles immediately conjures up science fiction images of a TV series superhuman character that was implanted with bionic muscles and portrayed with strength and speed far superior to any normal human. As fantastic as this idea may seem, recent developments in electroactive polymers (EAP) may one day make such bionics possible. Polymers that exhibit large displacement in response to stimulation that is other than electrical signal were known ....etc

ABSTRACT
It is reported that millions of people are suffering from some kind of hearing impairment. The number is climbing due to the increasing portion of elderly people in the worldâ„¢s population. While hearing loss is usually caused by permanent mechanical damage to the ear, there is no medicine to reverse it, as surgery offers little help.
Thus the electronic hearing aid or prosthetic are the best known solutions to the patients. Hence a neurofuzzy approach for devices that combine neural networks and fuzzy logic t ....etc

INTRODUCTION
So what is cyber ware you ask? Consider a computer interface where there is no need to type, no eyestrain or back-strain of sitting at a computer all day. You simply lie down, plug in your data-jack and think your computer's actions. Techno-junkie pipe dream? Perhaps, but there is a growing number of people who are trying to pull this new technology out of science fiction and into reality.
Most dictionaries don't contain a definition for cyber ware. This is unsurprising in this relatively new and unknow ....etc

CHAPTER 1

NEUROPROSTHETICS
INTRODUCTION:
Neuroprosthetics (also called Neural Prosthetics) is a discipline related to neuroscience and biomedical engineering concerned with developing neural prostheses, artificial implantable devices to replace or improve the function of an impaired nervous system.
Neuroprosthetics are the set of physical devices that interact with the brain or other neural tissue to augment, restore, or otherwise impact function.

Neuroprosthetics are electrical stimulation technologies that replace or assist damage ....etc

ABSTRACT

An ideal artificial hand should match the requirements of prosthetics and humanoid robotics.

It can be wearable by the user which means that it can be perceived as part of the natural body and should replicate sensory-motor capabilities of the natural hand.However, such an ideal bionic prosthesis is still far from reality.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a novel artificial hand based on a biomechatronic and ....etc

Visual Neuro Prosthetics

Recent technological breakthroughs in materials and micro fabrication technologies afford neurosurgeons ophthalmologists and engineers the opportunity to reconsider the prospect of providing a useful visual sense to the profoundly blind. This will be accomplished by electrically stimulating their visual systems via an array of implanted electrodes, which can be safely implanted into the visual parts of the brain with little significant long term consequences.

Preliminar ....etc

Abstract
An “ideal” artificial hand should match the requirements of prosthetics and humanoid robotics. It can be wearable by the user which means that it can be perceived as part of the natural body and should replicate sensory-motor capabilities of the natural hand. However, such an ideal bionic prosthesis is still far from reality. This paper describes the design and fabrication of a novel artificial hand based on a “biomechatronic” and cybernetic approach. Our approach is aimed at providing “natural” sensory-motor co-o ....etc

ABSTRACT
Recent advances in microelectromechanical systems, CMOS electronics and embedded computer systems will finally let us page link computer circuitary to neural cells in live animals. The key components of such a brain “computer system includes neural probes, analog electronics and miniature microcomputer. These bioembedded systems are called neurochips. By enabling better study of animal behavior™s neural basis, implantable computers may revolutionize field biology and event ....etc
