Robot and Neuroscience Technology: Computational and Engineering Approaches in Medicine
Description
Robot and neuroscience technology based on computational and engineering approaches in medicine provides huge opportunities for the advancement of medical research, the improvement of quality of life, and the enhancement of patient safety. The findings in neuroscience recently greatly promote the development of artificial intelligence and must consequently promote the development of robotic technology. The research progress on neuroscience and its potential application in robotics have obtained more and more attentions recently.
Robot and neuroscience technology is primarily interested in serving as a venue for the discussion of innovative technical contributions highlighting applications, systems, and technologies. Contributions in the realm of human-oriented issues might include empirical studies of robot and neuroscience related technologies and medicine-engineering cooperation. In this special issue, we strongly encourage authors to submit their original contributions describing their conceptual, algorithmic, methodological, and application systems contributions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Brain machine interface
- Human computer interaction using electrooculogram and/or surface electromyogram signals
- Ambient-assisted healthcare systems
- Robot assisted surgery system
- Nurse-assistant robot
- Ubiquitous robot
- Less invasive biomarkers for specific stimulus and response used in functional neuroimaging, new developments of computational neuroscience
