TL;DR. A direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device, allowing for bidirectional information flow.
Technical Definition
A direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device, allowing for bidirectional information flow.
How it works
Neurocybernetics, also known as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), establishes a direct link between the brain and external devices. Unlike neuromodulation, BCIs enable two-way information exchange. They are primarily used to research, map, assist, augment, or repair human cognitive and sensory-motor functions.
