What the editorial says

Nature Neuroscience published an editorial introducing a special issue focused on neurotechnology, especially brain-computer interfaces. It frames the field as a two-way exchange: neuroscience informs devices, while interfaces can also help test ideas about neural function.

Scope of the issue

The editorial points to communication interfaces, attention control, user adaptation, sensory feedback, and questions about ownership and sharing of neural data. It presents these as themes across the issue and argues that users’ experiences and governance questions matter alongside technical development.
