Neurotechnology

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Neurotechnology is any technology that has a fundamental influence on how people understand the brain and various aspects of consciousness, thought, and higher order activities in the brain. It also includes technologies that are designed to improve and repair brain function and allow researchers and clinicians to visualize the brain. The field of neurotechnology has been around for nearly half a century but has only reached maturity in the last twenty years. Advents of brain imaging revolutionized the field and gave rise to a whole new shift in research that could now directly monitor the brain's activities during experiments. The field of neurotechnology is incredibly relevant to society, though its presence is so commonplace that many do not realize its ubiquity.
