Summary This book covers recent advances in the neural technology that produces enhancements for brain function. It addresses a broad range of neural phenomena occurring in the brain circuits for perception, cognition, emotion and action, representing the building blocks of the behavior and mind. Augmentation of brain function is achieved using brain implants for recordings, stimulation and drug delivery. Alternative methods include employing brain-machine interfaces, as well as noninvasive activation of certain brain areas. Existing methods of brain augmentation are evaluated, and new approaches are introduced. Brain circuitry and neuronal mechanisms that are candidates for augmentation are discussed. This volume provides novel insights into brain disorders, and new devices for brain repair. Information in this book is relevant to researchers in the field of neuroscience, engineering, and clinical practice. Philosophical and ethical implications of brain augmentation are also addressed
