Mind Over Matter: Cognitive Neuroengineering

[摘要] T echnology that is sparking an entirely new field of neuroscience will soon let us simply think about something we want our computers to do and watch it instantaneously happen. In fact, some patients with severe neurological injury or disease are already reaping the benefits of initial advances by using their thoughts to signal and control robotic limbs. This brain-computer interface (BCI) idea is spawning a new area of neuroscience called cognitive neuroengineering that holds the promise of improving the quality of life for everyone on the planet in unimaginable ways.
