About
The human brain is an incredible feat of evolution. But it has its challenges. Disease and injury can dramatically impair patients and negatively impact their quality of life. The neurotech field strives to leverage technology to overcome the brain’s limitations. Neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces are some of the most well-known applications of neurotech. These technologies can enable patients trapped in their bodies to move or communicate again. We could also find new therapies for complex neurological diseases and mental health conditions. We can also study how the brain functions and gain new insights into human thought. We must ask ourselves many questions when looking beyond neurotech for therapeutics. What ethical challenges must we carefully address? What inequalities could we inadvertently create? As the neurotech field matures, we expand our understanding of the human mind and explore mysteries we have just begun to imagine.

The Neural Frontier: Pioneering Tomorrow's Brain Technologies
-
The stuff of science fiction is becoming reality! These scientist and entrepreneurs are tackling the next generation of brain connectomics, advanced brain-computer interfaces, neuromodulation, and stem cell replacement. These technologies aim to treat specific disorders today, but will enable a path for us to become cyborgs and live longer.
