Journal of Neural Engineering latest papers http://stacks.iop.org/1741-2552 Journal of Neural Engineering is an important new international journal publishing original research and reviews in the interdisciplinary field of neural engineering. Launched in March 2004, the journal is the first publication of its kind dedicated to support this exciting field. The journal encompasses all aspects of neural engineering, including experimental, computational, theoretical, clinical and applied aspects of: neural interfacing; neuroelectronics; neuromechanical systems; neuroinformatics; neuroimaging; neural prostheses; neural circuits: artificial and biological neural control; neural functions and performance; neural tissue regeneration; neural signal processing and neural modelling and neuro-computation. en-gb Copyright © IOP Publishing 2011 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://syndication.iop.org/about/ custserv@iop.org (Customer Services) Journal of Neural Engineering http://images.iop.org/website-logos/ejs_logo.png http://stacks.iop.org/ A generic model of real-world non-ideal behaviour of FES-induced muscle contractions: simulation tool http://stacks.iop.org/1741-2552/8/i=4/a=046034?rss=2.0 Author(s): Cheryl L Lynch, Geoff M Graham and Milos R Popovic<br>Affiliation(s): Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada;
