About this site

neurotech.foundation is a reference on the foundations of neurotechnology. The name describes the subject: the ideas the field is built on, set out in the order they depend on one another.

It is written for students, for people arriving from a neighbouring field, and for anyone who wants the structure of the subject before the detail.

This site describes how the technology works. It is not medical advice, and it does not recommend any device, treatment or company.

What this site is not
