Electrobiology is the study of the electrical processes in living organisms. There are a few synonyms for the term electrobiology, which includes electrophysiology, bioelectronics, neuroengineering and neuroprosthetics. Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues while bioelectronics focuses on the application of electronics to biological systems. Neuroengineering involves developing new methods to study the nervous system while neuroprosthetics deals with the development of prosthetic devices that communicate with the nervous system. Whatever the synonym used, all deal with the intersection of biology and electrical processes in the living organism, which is a fascinating and rapidly growing field of study.
