What are Neural Prosthetics?

Neural Prosthetics is an area of neuroscience aiming to repair or improve the nervous system with artifical devices. Such devices can be broken down into three catagories:

1. Auditory and Visual Prothesis
2. Functional Neuromuscular Stimulation (FNS)
3. Prosthetic Limb Control (via implanted neural interface)
