Neurotechnology

 

In a very general sense, the term Neurotechnology defines any artificial means to interact with the workings of the brain. This means that pharmacological treatment and adjustments of brain activity are just as much a part of neurotechnology as technical and computational tools. These measure and analyse electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system, both in the brain and in the limbs. But it also entails technical tools which interact with the nervous system to change its activity, for example to restore sensory input such as with cochlea implants to restore hearing or deep brain stimulation to stop tremors and treat other pathological conditions.

Neurotechnology research in this context includes all research that contributes to these systems, including, for example, solving problems of encapsulation of electronic circuits, simulations of neuronal networks and cultural biological networks to understand their properties, and the development of surgical implantation techniques.
