Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation (JNER) is an Open Access, peer-reviewed online journal that aims to foster the publication of research work that results from cross-fertilization of the fields of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and physical medicine & rehabilitation. During the past decade, we have witnessed profound changes in physical medicine & rehabilitation originated by advances in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. For example, imaging and neurological assessment methods have dramatically improved the management of patients with motor impairments; robotics and artificial muscle research have generated revolutionary concepts in orthotics and prosthetics; and advances in cortical recordings and the understanding of central nervous system mechanisms have changed the way clinicians look at movement disorders. These techniques and others have brought about, and will continue to give rise in the future to, dramatic advances in physical medicine & rehabilitation. JNER aims to provide a forum for researchers and clinicians interested in understanding the way neuroscience and biomedical engineering are continuing to reshape physical medicine & rehabilitation. As advances in neuroscience and biomedical engineering continue to generate new techniques, with tremendous impact in the field of physical medicine & rehabilitation, it becomes apparent that there is an urgent need for establishing an outlet for the intersection of these three research fields. JNER aims to provide such an outlet, hosting the introduction of new methods and the discussion of their clinical implications, and offering an opportunity to publish, in a timely manner, articles relevant to the cross-fertilization of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and physical medicine & rehabilitation.

《神經工程與康復雜志》（JNER）是一本開放的、同行評審的在線期刊，旨在促進神經科學、生物醫學工程和物理醫學與康復領域交叉施肥的研究成果的出版。在過去的十年里，我們見證了神經科學和生物醫學工程的進步所帶來的物理醫學和康復的深刻變化。例如，影像學和神經評估方法極大地改善了對運動障礙患者的管理；機器人學和人工肌肉研究在矯形學和假肢學方面產生了革命性的概念；皮質記錄的進步和對中樞神經系統機制的理解已經改變了臨床醫生觀察運動障礙的方式。這些技術和其他技術已經并將在未來繼續促進物理醫學和康復方面的巨大進步。JNER旨在為有興趣了解神經科學和生物醫學工程如何繼續重塑物理醫學和康復的研究人員和臨床醫生提供一個論壇。隨著神經科學和生物醫學工程的不斷進步，產生了新的技術，在物理醫學和康復領域產生了巨大的影響，這三個研究領域的交叉點迫切需要建立一個出口。JNER的目標是提供這樣一個出口，主持新方法的引進和臨床意義的討論，并提供及時發表與神經科學、生物醫學工程和物理醫學與康復交叉施肥相關的文章的機會。
