Abstract

Engineering is indispensable for the development of clinical devices. The devices are also utilized for basic neuroscience, brain-machine-interface (BMI) research, neuromodulation and so on. This paper will outline the relations of clinical electroneurophysiology and BMI for cybernics research from clinical standpoints. First, we have a run-through of neurophysiology. Thereafter, this paper will introduce the techniques of visualization of brain functions and neuromodulation.
