The main goal of neural engineering is to develop solutions to neurological, neurosurgical, and rehabilitative problems. As neuroscientists and neural engineers, we are in an early period of discovery where we are defining the limitations both technologically and biologically of how we can fundamentally alter the function of the nervous system. This issue of Critical Reviews in Biomedical Engineering is volume three of a three volume series focused on neural engineering. The theme of this issue is "Transformative Research in Neural Engineering." %8 2011-04-01
