Neuroscience, neurotechnologies, Psychology, Computer ScienceAbstract
The human brain is one of the most significant frontiers in modern science, with endless opportunities for research and technology aimed at better understanding human cognition and behavior. However, no single field can encompass all of the brain's capabilities. The most impactful research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration, which introduces new perspectives and deeper insight into the brain’s vast capabilities.
To achieve a deeper understanding of brain function, considering the roles of computer science and psychology in brain research, as well as the ethical concerns that may arise from advanced analysis of the human brain, is essential. This review explores how the convergence of neuroscience, computer science, and psychology deepens our understanding of the brain and shapes the future of human-technology interaction.
