👉 Neural engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of neuroscience, electrical engineering, computer science, and materials science to develop technologies that interface with the nervous system. It focuses on creating devices and systems that can record, interpret, and modulate neural activity to treat neurological disorders, enhance cognitive functions, or restore sensory and motor capabilities. This includes the design of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that translate neural signals into commands for external devices, neuroprosthetics that replace or augment lost functions, and neural implants that can deliver targeted therapies like deep brain stimulation. By leveraging advanced materials, microfabrication techniques, and sophisticated algorithms, neural engineering aims to bridge the gap between biological neural systems and artificial technologies, ultimately improving human health and quality of life.
