Információk az e-könyvről
The latest insights coming from neurophysiologists, neuropsychologists, ICT experts specialized in clinical data management and from representatives of patient organizations are elucidated and new ways for “BCI/BMI applied to rehabilitation” using advanced ICT are introduced. The book describes the latest progress in and is an appeal for an approach leading to more cost-saving multi-disciplinary neuro-rehabilitation.
This book covers the following topics:· Overview on BCI/BMI applied to rehabilitation
· ICT for Neuro-rehabilitation
· ICT for new generation prostheses
· Gaze tracking, facial orientation determination, face and emotion recognition in 3D space for neuro-rehabilitation applications
· Integrated perspective for future wide spread integration of motor neuro-rehabilitation
· Ethical issues in the use of Information and Communication Technologies in the health care of patients with neurological disorders
