《脑机革命》内容简介

　　畅想一下，如果你能用大脑来控制电脑……比如在电脑屏上打字，或者是用意识操控机械臂完成各种动作……这些电影大片描绘的科幻场景，现在看来已经是基于“脑机接口”的合理设想。

　　那么，脑机接口是什么？目前进展如何？实践中有哪些应用？它如何革新我们的思考、工作和生活方式？屡获大奖的发明家谭乐在书中讲述了脑机结合领域令人兴奋的新兴技术，包括无创性手术工具、大脑探测工具、大脑增强工具、可供医疗工作者使用的工具，以及消费者可用的工具。书中也分享了一些令人难以置信的真实故事，一些人的生活因为这些先进技术的发明而发生了改变。

　　这本书激情而不失科学地讲解了大脑增强技术可能给人类带来的影响和变革，还不失客观和冷静地提出了其可能带来的技术可及性、数据隐私、数据使用权、法律和伦理道德等一系列社会问题，有助于我们进一步了解大脑的运作方式，预见未来的无限可能性。

Introduction to the Brain Computer Revolution

Imagine if you could control a computer with your brain... For example, typing on the computer screen, or using the consciousness to control the robot arm to complete various actions... These blockbusters depict sci-fi scenarios that now seem reasonable based on "brain-computer interfaces."

So, what is a brain-computer interface? How is it going so far? What are the applications in practice? How does it revolutionize the way we think, work and live? Award-winning inventor Tan Le discusses exciting emerging technologies in the field of brain-computer integration, including non-invasive surgical tools, brain detection tools, brain enhancement tools, tools for healthcare workers, and tools available to consumers. The book also shares some incredible true stories of people whose lives have been changed by the invention of these advanced technologies.

This book passionately and scientifically explains the impact and change that brain enhancement technology may bring to human beings, and objectively and calmly raises a series of social issues such as technological accessibility, data privacy, data use rights, law and ethics that it may bring, helping us to further understand how the brain works and foresee the infinite possibilities of the future.
