Recent advances in neuroscience and technology have made it possible to record from large assemblies of neurons and to decode their activity to extract information. At the same time, available methods to stimulate the brain and influence ongoing processing are also rapidly expanding. These developments pave the way for advanced neurotechnological applications that directly read from, and write to, the human brain. While such technologies are still primarily used in restricted therapeutic contexts, this may change in the future once their performance has improved and they become more widely applicable. Here, we provide an overview of methods to interface with the brain, speculate about potential applications, and discuss important issues associated with a neurotechnologically assisted future.
神经科学和技术的最新进展使得从大量神经元中进行记录并解码其活动以提取信息成为可能。与此同时，用于刺激大脑和影响正在进行的处理的可用方法也在迅速扩展。这些发展为先进的神经技术应用铺平了道路，这些应用可以直接读取和写入人类大脑。虽然这些技术主要仍用于受限的治疗环境中，但随着其性能的提高和更广泛的应用，未来可能会发生变化。在这里，我们提供了与大脑接口的方法概述，推测了潜在的应用，并讨论了与神经技术辅助的未来相关的重要问题。
