The goal of this book is to bring together ideas from several different disciplines in order to examine the focus and aims that drive rehabilitation intervention and technology development. Specifically, the chapters in this book address the questions of what research is currently taking place to further develop rehabilitation, applied technology and how we have been able to modify and measure responses in both healthy and clinical populations using these technologies. The following chapters are dedicated toward addressing these issues: 1) Does Training with Technology Add to Functional Gains?; 2) Are there Rules that Govern Recovery of Function?; 3) Using the Body’s Own Signals to Augment Therapeutic Gains; 4) Technology Incorporates Cognition and Action; 5) Technology Enhances the Impact of Rehabilitation Programs; 6) Summary.
I am delighted to write a preface for this Celebratory eBook published in the Specialty Section Neuropharmacology, within the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology. The eBook delivers a compendium of high impact papers published previously in the journal over the last ten years; at the time of writing this collection of 20 papers has been viewed 700k times with over 75k downloads. Clearly this Section is delivering a useful resource to the scientific and medical research community! The scope of the Specialty Section Neuropharmacology is deliberately broad. We encourage submission of high quality and impactful papers in the field of neuropharmacology along the full length of the translational esc...

Ergonomics is a human-centered discipline. This is particularly true for healthcare systems and patient safety where the human’s well-being will undergo critical impacts if solutions are not properly designed and practiced. Effective handling of these concerns involves knowledge from healthcare work (e.g., shift work, patient handling, and medical teamwork), to safety research (resilience, medical process control, intensive care, surgery/anesthesiology, and patient involvement), and to more general issues such as community participation in public affairs. To pursue the mission, the Healthcare System Ergonomics and Patient Safety (HEPS) commenced its first conference in Florence, Italy in 2...
