This book presents the latest content available on Bionics, the science of fusing artificial parts with human parts in order to duplicate body functions.

Although most people understand Bionics as the creation of superhumans, the practical applications are less dramatic, such as hearing aids, artificial limbs, and artificial hearts. Statistics show that one out of every ten Americans depends on some type of artificial physical device.

And this volume unveils the latest researches that configure the future of this science and its amazing potential, from the creation of artificial nervous systems that would allow paralyzed people to move, to devices that would give sight to the blind.
