“…In some functional electrical stimulation devices sensors are held in the same enclosures as the stimulators (e.g., wrist motion sensors, accelerometers, and leg tilt sensors; Prochazka 1997; Prochazka et al 1997a;Stein et al 2006). Tooth click sensors (Prochazka 2003) and head motion sensors (Prochazka 2016) built into earpieces are used to trigger hand grasp and release (e.g., Rehabtronics ReGrasp). Accelerometers and EMG amplifiers have been used experimentally in closed-loop tremor suppression systems (Gillard et al 1999;Khobragade et al 2015;Prochazka et al 1992).…”

Neurophysiology is the branch of physiology concerned with understanding the function of neural systems. Neural engineering (also known as neuroengineering) is a discipline within biomedical engineering that uses engineering techniques to understand, repair, replace, enhance, or otherwise exploit the properties and functions of neural systems. In most cases neural engineering involves the development of an interface between electronic devices and living neural tissue. This review describes the origins of neural engineering, the explosive development of methods and devices commencing in the late 1950s, and the present-day devices that have resulted. The barriers to interfacing electronic devices with living neural tissues are many and varied, and consequently there have been numerous stops and starts along the way. Representative examples are discussed. None of this could have happened without a basic understanding of the relevant neurophysiology. I also consider examples of how neural engineering is repaying the debt to basic neurophysiology with new knowledge and insight.
