A Translational Approach to Neurotechnology Development

摘要

The past several decades have seen an explosion of meaningful and nuanced insights into the connection between human behavior and the nervous system; however, the translation of these insights into viable applications is a non-trivial and widely acknowledged challenge. Recent advancements in brain-computer interaction and real-world neuroimaging technologies have provided major breakthroughs that provide the underpinnings for translational neuros-cience research efforts. This session focuses on building off of those advancements and specifically proposes three concepts necessary for overcoming the challenges of translation: 1) integrating aspects of knowledge of brain function that are generally separate into single analyses, 2) increasing situational complexity, and 3) continuing to develop neuroimaging tools specifically for use in real-world environments.
