Definition of a trend
A dynamic trend in biotechnology and engineering that is characterised by the rapid development and implementation of technologies related to brain function. This trend is developing solutions such as advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), neuroimplants, technologies for deep brain stimulation and tools for precise mapping of neural activity, among others. The implications of this trend are multifaceted and relate to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities by restoring sensory or motor function, treating neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, and opening up possibilities for augmenting human cognitive abilities. In addition, this trend raises new questions from the areas of ethics, privacy and identity, affecting the way we understand the human mind, consciousness and the boundaries between human and artificial intelligence.
