Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Neurosciences Neurosciences & Neurology Science & Technology
Neurotechnologies combine neuroscience and engineering to create tools for studying, repairing, and enhancing brain function. Traditionally, researchers have used neurotechnologies, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), as assistive devices, for example to allow locked-in patients to communicate. In the last few decades, non-invasive brain imaging devices, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), have become more portable and inexpensive, paving the way to innovative applications of neurotechnologies (Ayaz and Dehais, 2018). Recent trends in neuroergonomics and neural engineering have used neurotechnologies to enhance various human capabilities, including (but not limited to) communication, emotion, perception, memory, attention, engagement, situation awareness, problem-solving, and decision making (Cinel et al., 2019; Kosmyna and Maes, 2019).
