Chatbots in neurology and neuroscience: Interactions with students, patients and neurologists

Abstract

Chatbots, also known as conversational agents, can guide customers in navigating websites, answer questions or act as personal assistants. They have recently entered the neuroscientific arena and can potentially revolutionise neurology and neuroscience. In this manuscript, we explore what chatbots can and cannot do in their interactions with students, patients and neurologists, and we analyse their potentialities and limitations.
