Neuroengineering is the art of trying to exploit our understanding of the brain, to try and develop new inventions that can be used in the real world. It is closely related to the fields of experimental and computational neuroscience. Experimental neuroscience is the study of neural systems in different forms of life, at the molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive levels. Computational neuroscience refers to the development of mathematical models and computational analyses of these neural systems. Computational Neuroscience complements experimental neuroscience, by helping to integrate, and provide a deeper analysis of, different experimental results. The formal theory and methods developed through the combination of experimental and computational neuroscience provide the framework, with which neuroengineers can develop new inventions.
