Medical Definition of neuroengineering
: the application of engineering principles and techniques to the field of neuroscience especially to study, restore, or enhance nervous system function

Among his other breakthroughs in neuroengineering is a robotic arm that can be controlled with signals from the brain just as the body operates. — Sarah Avery, The Herald (Rock Hill, South Carolina), 22 Mar. 2009Other Words from neuroengineering
