Steven J. Schiff

I am a pediatric neurosurgeon, with interests in neural control engineering, sustainable health engineering and global health. I founded the Penn State Center for Neural Engineering, and now work at Yale University. The principles within this book better enable us to engineer treatments for controlling conditions such as epilepsy, migraines or Parkinson’s disease, and can be applied to better control diseases across populations in the developing world.

I archived errata that corrects mistakes in the text, working computer code that lay behind many of the calculations, and lecture slides at the MIT Press website:

My Yale University website is a good place to find links to the original research papers that lay behind the book, and to catch up with my more recent work:

I very much hope that you enjoy the book.
