Neurocybernetics

In the physical sciences, neurocybernetics is the study of communication and automatic control systems in mutual relation to machines and living organisms. The underlying mathematical descriptions are control theory, extended for complex systems, and mean field theory for neural networks and neural field theory. Neurocybernetics is a sub-discipline of biocybernetics.

Neurocybernetics is a compound word; it is composed of neuro-, the fundamental biological way to convey information within an organism by means of specially differentiated cells (neurons), and cybernetics, the science of communication and automatic control systems in relation to both machines and living beings.

Neuro-/biocybernetics can essentially be understood as the culmination of both neurology and cybernetics. As the complexity of neurology currently still prevents abstracting it into a generalizable theory, whilst on the other hand the complexity of cybernetical systems does not even come close to that of any biological system, even that of the most primitive kind (e.g. protozoa), neuro-/biocybernetics is still very much in the initial phase with much basic research going on, and hardly any commercial applications.

Generally speaking, it is the science that covers the integration of machines into a living organism via a neural interface (aka neurolink or neural interface). The best example for applied neurocybernetics is the application of neuroprosthetics, which is still at a very early stage.

The capacity of computers to cope with massive amounts of information and interface with each other with very low latencies is continually increasing. Efforts in the striving to advance human-computer interface technologies resulted in devices such as Virtual Reality gloves, various kind of motion trackers as well as 3-D sound and graphic based systems. These devices are capable of enhancing our ability to interact, along with novel approaches to user-interface-design, with vast amounts of information in as natural way as possible.
