In the spotlight: neuroengineering

This article reviews some of the highlights of what has been covered and explored at various conferences and published in major journals about neuroengineering. The "hot" areas, at least as measured by popularity and visibility, continue to be the fields of brain-computer interface (BCI) or brain-machine interface (BMI), the application of BMI to neural prosthesis, deep brain stimulation (DBS), neural interface technologies, and brain imaging.
