Neuromechanics

Neuromechanics is an area that attempts to combine the efforts of muscles, sensory organs, pattern generators in the brain, and the central nervous system itself to manipulate motion. Neuromechanics applications include easing health problems along with designing and controlling robotic systems applicable to the mechanical aspect of the nervous system.

Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation is the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body. This is a growing class of therapies that can help restore function or relieve symptoms that have a neurological basis.

Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging is the use of various techniques and technologies to either directly or indirectly image various parts of the nervous system (especially the brain). It is a relatively new discipline within neuroscience and has seen widespread use with the advent of various technologies such as the MRI. 

Neural Networks

Neural Networks are information processing models that are inspired by the way biologic nervous systems (such as the brain) process information. They are composed of a large number of connected processing elements that work together to solve problems, and learn by example. 

Neural Interfaces

A neural interface is a direct communication pathway between a wired or enhanced brain and an external device, such as a computer. They are often used for researching, mapping, assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. 

Neural Prostheses

Neural prostheses are assistive devices that restore functions that were lost as a result of neural damage. They electrically stimulate nerves and are either external or implanted devices. This is a rapidly growing field and more neural prostheses are being developed for various different use cases all the time. 

Neurorobotics

Neurorobotics is the field and study of neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Neural systems are embodied in machines with mechanic or any other forms of physical actuation, and may also involve the design of brain-controlled robot systems.

Neural Enhancement

Neural Enhancement is the study of enhancing and extending cognitive and affective abilities based on the understanding of their underlying neurobiology in healthy people. Neuro enhancements sustain significant cognitive, affective, or motor benefits beyond normal functioning in healthy individuals without many side or adverse effects. 

Neuro Security

Neuro Security refers to a version of computer science security principles and methods applied to neural engineering, enabling the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of neural devices from malicious parties with the goal of preserving the safety of a person's neural mechanisms, neural computation, and free will. 

Neuroregeneration

Neuroregeneration (or neural growth and repair) is the science pertaining to the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products. This includes the regeneration of basic components of the nervous system such as neurons, glia ("nerve helper cells"), and parts of neurons, such as axons, myelin, or synapses.
