Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), also known as brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), are systems that establish a direct communication pathway between the human brain and an external device or computer. BCIs read, interpret, and translate brain signals into commands that can control devices or communicate with the outside world, enabling a new form of human-machine interaction. BCIs can restore communication and control capabilities for individuals with severe motor disabilities, such as those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injuries, or locked-in syndrome. BCIs can be used in neurorehabilitation to help patients recover motor functions after stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological disorders. They have the potential to enhance human cognitive and sensory abilities, such as improving memory, attention, or perception, and enabling new forms of human-machine collaboration. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are poised to transform how humans interact with technology, offering groundbreaking applications across healthcare, military, gaming, and beyond.
