An exciting and promising new technology? Or uncertain and unreliable hype? Indeed, some neurotech applications seem to share a border with science fiction
However, such exaggerations cannot discredit neurotechnology as a whole. The majority of neurotechnologies that use neural signals as primary data are based on established scientific knowledge and methods.
I have researched and taught neuroscience methods relevant to neurotechnology. Sometimes a simple explanation helps to separate science from fiction. In this series of posts, I’d like to share some of my thoughts on neurotechnology and related issues.
