Today we're talking about ways to connect the brain to a computer.Our sources:https://builtin.com/hardware/brain-computer-interface-bcihttps://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-106118https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3497935/The provided sources discuss Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), which are systems that translate brain signals into commands for external devices, bypassing traditional neuromuscular pathways. They explain the definition and core components of BCIs, including signal acquisition, feature extraction, feature translation, and device output. The texts highlight various applications, particularly in restoring mobility and communication for individuals with neurological disorders, with examples ranging from controlling robotic limbs and wheelchairs to enabling "mindwriting" for non-verbal patients. Both sources differentiate between invasive and non-invasive BCI types, detailing their respective methods and suitable use cases, and acknowledge the challenges in widespread adoption, such as regulatory approval, cost, and the crucial need for improved reliability in real-world settings.
