Abstract

A BCI is a system that transforms brain impulses directly into motions for computer software, such as a word processor, or a device, such as a monitor. We describe who the target users of a BCI are and how a BCI works in this section. We also discuss the various forms of BCIs, with a particular emphasis on BCIs for those with acute disabilities.

A BCI is a system that comprises sensors for monitoring brain signals (typically in the form of ‘electrodes,’ an amplifier to enhance the feeble brain waves, and a computer that converts those signals into orders to operate software programs and devices. BCIs’ components can be made portable or accessible. BCI-controlled gadgets range from assistive equipment for paralysed persons to internet-connected devices (such as a cellphone) for healthy individuals to basic videogames or entertainment tools.

Many groups are presently working on creating BCIs for a broad array of applications and user categories. Many of the apps are just designed for short-term usage and do not require permanent installation. Therapy devices to aid in the recovery of injured individuals, as well as remote controls for healthy individuals, are instances of this. Some BCIs are meant to replace a function that has been lost or degraded as a result of injuries or sickness ...
