Neurotechnology is the ability of methods and instruments to enable a direct connection of components with the human nervous system.
2
It covers the use of devices that are being developed to understand the brain, visualize its processes, and even control, repair or improve its functions.
3
Devices currently being tested and used include computers, electrodes, and any other devices that can be set up to intercept electric pulses that run through the body.
4
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) measure brain activity, extract features from that activity, and convert those features into outputs that replace, restore, enhance, supplement, or improve human functions.
5
Examples of neurotechnologies include deep brain stimulation, optogenetics, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and brain–computer interfaces, such as cochlear implants.
