biomedical engineering

"Explores how brain-computer interfaces work, walking readers through the history, current developments, and potential for future discoveries, as well as the challenges scientists currently face. Includes infographics, discussion questions, and two 'Scientist Bio' features highlighting people who've done important work creating BCIs"--Provided by publisher.

A tour of the current revolution in human augmentation explores how the world's most innovative engineers are helping people repair traumatic injuries while transcending physical and mental limitations.

Explores breakthroughs in the field of biomedical engineering.

"Scientists are on the verge of a revolution in biomedical engineering that will forever change the way we think about medicine, even life itself. Cutting-edge researchers are working to build body organs and tissue in the lab. They are developing ways to encourage the body to regenerate damaged or diseased bone and muscle tissue. Scientists are striving to re-route visual stimuli to the brain to help blind people see. They may soon discover methods to enlist the trillions of microbes living in our bodies to help us fight disease. Learn about four strands of bioengineering--tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, neuroengineering, microbial science, and genetic engineering and synthetic biology--and meet scientists working in these fields"--Provided by the publisher.

Explores the history of bionics and how it has been used to replace body parts, fix malfunctions, and assist the senses.

Provides an introduction to a career in biomedical engineering, discussing what the job entails, the products and technologies biomedical engineers develop, and other related topics.

Bionic eyes are a Modern Engineering Marvel! In this engaging title, readers will explore the history of bionic eyes from early attempts to use electricity to aid vision to the development of computer chips that led to eye and brain implants. Mark Humayun and his development of the bionic eye implant is featured, and colorful infographics show eye anatomy and how implants work. See the future of bionic eyes as scientists work to restore sight in different types of vision loss. A timeline, a glossary, and an index supplement historical and color photos. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Checkerboard Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Provides information about careers in the field of biomedical engineering, including job details, pay, future prospects, and more.

Presents the predominant arguments for and against on the issue of biomedical ethics.

Discusses the benefits offered by wearable computer devices covering health information tracking, cloud computing, social networking, and cutting-edge medical applications, including as impact indicators for concussion studies.
