In 1995, professor Massimo Grattarola of the Biophysics and Electrical Engineering Department (DIBE) at the University of Genova, in Genova, Italy, created an undergraduate and graduate program named neurobioengineering (also referred to as neuroengineering).〔Dr. Marco Bove, In Memoriam Website for Dr. M. Grattarola, University of Genova, Italy - http://web.archive.org/web/20020714024312/http://www.bio.dibe.unige.it/people/Grattarola/grattarola.htm 〕 The program was designed to amalgamate anthropomorphic robotics, artificial intelligence, bioelectronics,〔Bioelectronics - MOSFETs, Biosensors and Neurons - M. Grattarola, McGraw-Hill; April 8, 1998. English. ISBN 0-07-003174-6. ISBN 978-0-07-003174-6〕 electrical engineering, molecular biology, physics, and medicine, into a single program with the aim of developing advanced bio-compatible neuro-prosthetic implants (man-machine interfacing) for a variety applications (e.g. nervous system interaction with artificial limbs, central and peripheral nervous system implants, directional neural grafting (neural engineering), electron harvesting from biological processes to power implanted devices, neural arrays cultured on CMOS sensors, etc.).〔Neural Computation, Volume 11, Issue 6 (August 1999), Pages: 1413 - 1426 : 1999, ISSN:0899-7667, Michele Giugliano, Marco Bove, Massimo Grattarola〕〔Michele Giugliano, Marco Bove, Massimo Grattarola: Activity-Driven Computational Strategies of a Dynamically Regulated Integrate-and-Fire Model Neuron.

The goal of that branch is to develop a bio-artificial brain of cultured neurons capable of replicating human behaviour in an artificial robotic system. The European Union F.E.T. funded the neurobioengineering department to pursue this ambitious project.〔Institute of Physics, Journal of Neural Engineering Vol 5, Issue 4. http://www.iop.org/EJ/article/1741-2552/2/4/E01/jne5_4_e01.pdf?request-id=6f3a87c4-a31f-486e-b2b0-3756a52e060c〕 ==History== The neurobioengineering program spawned numerous journal publications by the departmental scientific pioneers (Dr. Marco Bove, Dr. Sergio Martinoia, Dr. Renato Zaccaria, and many others) and a university course textbook ( Bioelectronics, MOSFETS, Biosensors and Neurons ) 〔 published by Massimo Grattarola. Members of the department were collaborating with researchers throughout the European Union, Japan and North America. Students from throughout the European Union and Canada enrolled in the program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neurobioengineering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
