"The purpose of this compilation is to provide a survey of innovative technologies and clinical interventions that can be used to improve function in people with deficits resulting from neurological injury or illness. ... The primary audience is engineering researchers and engineering students interested in medical and biological applications of engineering and technology. However, the book will also be useful to clinicians and clinician-investigators who work with people with neurological causes of disability ... ." (Elliot J. Roth, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
