Abstract <p>The article provides a summary and critical analysis of literaturedata, primarily from the last five years, on neural interfaces.It overviews experimental findings and clinical outcomes from applying neuralinterfaces for the enhancement of human capabilities in interactingwith the environment. It also illustrates how employing the latestadvancements in electronics, nanoscale bioengineering, and artificial intelligenceimproves quality of life or can be utilized for the purposes ofregenerative medicine. The review highlights the most promisingtypes of neural interfaces, with a particular emphasis on invasive technologiesand the use of cutting-edge developments in implantable materialswith high biocompatibility, durability, and optimized biophysicalproperties. Materials for invasive technologies are evaluated inthe light of their applicability for specific biomedical purposes,accompanied by a comparative analysis. Significant attention ispaid to the latest technologies in the fields of biomimetics andelectrical biostimulation, as well as innovative approaches to theapplied aspects of brain and spinal interfaces. Thus, this reviewserves as a valuable source of information for students and professionals whoseeducational and professional interests are aimed at diving deeperinto the world of neural interfaces.</p>
