What is Neurotechnology?
The term neurotechnology is often
used to describe the tools and methods that can influence the human
central nervous system, especially the brain, to achieve a desired
effect, including: pharmaceuticals; genetic engineering; psychological
and social conditioning; physical augmentation and cellular implantation;
electrical stimulation; and electro-mechanical nanotechnology.
More specifically, neurotechnology is
defined as the application of electronics and engineering to human
nervous system function. It is a distinct field from biotechnology,
which concerns itself largely with molecular and genetic engineering
approaches to human biology.
