  • Abstract
    The human neural mechanism is a complex system. The solution of many neuroscience complex problems involves highly coordinated and highly interdisciplinary research efforts between neuroscientists and biomedical engineers. The neuroscience and the biomedical engineering are melded into a new international society, known as Institute of Complex Medical Engineering (ICME). Complex Medical Engineering (CME) consists of neuroscience, neurology, biomedical robotics and biomedical informatics, using medical and engineering methods to understand the complex system of human neural mechanisms, and to apply the basic findings to technology. The goal of ICME is to establish a new forum for this interdisciplinary field of neuroscientists and biomedical engineers to discuss their investigations in same conference (symposium), and publish their research work in one periodical. The CME can bridge the gap between medicine & engineering and science & technology. The CME focuses on the complex problems in the medicine and engineering fields, and tries to solve their problems in order to find simple theories and unique tools to help us to reach new understanding and help develop better methods of improving patients´ lives.
