Abstract
Neurophysiology is a critical and exciting topic to study and understand in great detail for those working in any field associated with neuroengineering—basic or applied research, device design and development, and/or neurology or neurosurgical clinical subspecialties. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a general introduction to neurophysiology with more detailed information on several selected topics and to offer a high level overview of the workings of the human central nervous system (CNS). One can explore other sources to find in-depth discussions related to many of the topics introduced in this chapter, as well as learn the specifics of state-of-the-art neuroengineering concepts related to each topic.
