The human brain functions as a highly interconnected “supernetwork” that supports perception, memory, emotion, and consciousness. Using the analogy of modern communication systems, this paper introduces the basic organization of neural networks, explores how their disruption leads to neurological diseases, and reviews recent advances in brain imaging and brain–computer interface technologies. Together, these developments are transforming how we visualize, understand, and interact with the brain.
