      Proteomics, Multi-Omics and Systems Biology in Optic Nerve Regeneration is a comprehensive reference that covers all vistas of standardization of axon regeneration, as well as all multi-omics and system level data and integration tools. By adopting a translational approach, the book bridges current research in the field to clinical applications, and readers can expect to learn standardization approaches for axon regeneration, multi-omics datasets, different databases, search engines, multiple dataset integrative tools, pathway convergence approaches and tools, outcome and outcome measures that unify bench research with clinical outcome.The axon regeneration from existing neurons in central nervous system (CNS) have become a potential possibility in the last decade. The potential possibility of long-distance axon growth has opened the possibility of re-connectivity of axons of retinal ganglion cell neurons within the lateral geniculate nucleus in the brain. The long-distance axon regeneration and re-connectivity is a promise to restore lost vision in the optic nerve. Further, long-distance regeneration and re-innervation is equally helpful for other fields such as spinal cord injuries.

It includes the processing and analysis of multimodal signals, integrated computation-acquisit... devices, and implantable neuro techniques. This book not only provides cross-disciplinary research in BCI but also presents divergent applications on telerehabilitation, emotion recognition, neuro-rehabilitation... cognitive workload assessments, and ambient assisted living solutions. In 15 chapters, this book describes how BCIs connect the brain with external devices like computers and electronic gadgets. It analyzes the neural signals from the brain to obtain insights from the brain patterns using multiple noninvasive wearable sensors. It gives insight into how sensor outcomes are processed through machine-intelligent models to draw inferences. Each chapter starts with the importance, problem statement, and motivation. A description of the proposed methodology is provided, and related works are also presented. Each chapter can be read independently, and therefore, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, health professionals, postgraduate students, postdoc researchers, and academicians in the fields of BCI, prosthesis, computer vision, and mental state estimation, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.
