Klappentext Based on the result of a symposium held at the Universite de Montreal, May 2010. Zusammenfassung Provides an overview of the various neural mechanisms that contribute to learning new motor and sensory skills! and to adapting to changed circumstances! including the use of devices and implants to substitute for lost sensory or motor abilities (brain machine interfaces).
