The pace of research and development in neuroscience, neurotechnology, and neurorehabilitation is rapidly accelerating, with the number of publications doubling every 4.2 years. Maintaining this progress requires technological standards and scientific reporting guidelines to provide frameworks for communication and interoperability. The present lack of such neurotechnology standards limits the transparency, repro-ducibility, and meta-analysis of this growing body of literature, posing an ongoing barrier to research, clinical, and commercial objectives. Continued neurotechnological innovation requires the development of some minimal standards to promote integration between this broad spectrum of technologies and therapies. To preserve design freedom and accelerate the translation of research into safe and effective technologies with maximal user benefit, such standards must be collaboratively co-developed by the full range of neuroscience and neurotechnology stakeholders. This paper summarizes the preliminary recommendations of IEEE P2794 Standards Working Group, developing a Reporting Standard for Neural Interface Research (RSNIR).
神经科学、神经技术和神经康复领域的研发步伐正在迅速加快，相关出版物数量每4.2年就会翻一番。要保持这一进展，就需要技术标准和科学报告指南来提供沟通和互操作性框架。目前缺乏此类神经技术标准，限制了这一不断增长的文献的透明度、可重复性和荟萃分析，对研究、临床和商业目标构成了持续障碍。持续的神经技术创新需要制定一些最低标准，以促进这一广泛技术和疗法之间的整合。为了保留设计自由，并加速将研究转化为对用户有最大益处的安全有效技术，此类标准必须由神经科学和神经技术的所有利益相关者共同协作制定。本文总结了IEEE P2794标准工作组的初步建议，制定了神经接口研究报告标准（RSNIR）。
