神经技术被广泛地定义为一套用于理解神经过程和应用的设备，这些设备可以潜在地促进大脑的自我修复能力。在过去的十年中，对大脑相关疾病的基本生物学机制的日益明确的理解已经产生了应用，使得一种直接而非侵入性的方法能够索引和操纵人类神经系统的功能。临床科学家正准备应用这项技术来评估、治疗和更好地理解复杂的社会情感过程，这些过程是多种精神病理学的基础。在这篇综述中，我们描述了在临床功能障碍的背景下，神经技术在技术和方法上的潜在好处和障碍。我们还提供了一个开发和评估神经技术的框架，旨在通过提供一个全面的词汇来描述临床神经技术的必要特征，从而加快临床科学和神经接口设计的进展。
Neurotechnology is broadly defined as a set of devices used to understand neural processes and applications that can potentially facilitate the brain’s ability to repair itself. In the past decade, an increasingly explicit understanding of basic biological mechanisms of brain-related illnesses has produced applications that allow a direct yet noninvasive method to index and manipulate the functioning of the human nervous system. Clinical scientists are poised to apply this technology to assess, treat, and better understand complex socioemotional processes that underlie many forms of psychopathology. In this review, we describe the potential benefits and hurdles, both technical and methodological, of neurotechnology in the context of clinical dysfunction. We also offer a framework for developing and evaluating neurotechnologies that is intended to expedite progress at the nexus of clinical science and neural interface designs by providing a comprehensive vocabulary to describe the necessary features of neurotechnology in the clinic.
