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 the field of neurophysiology, that is, a high-level overview of the anatomy and workings of the human central nervous system (CNS). One can explore other sources to find more 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.
