Brain computer interface

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that facilitates communication between the brain and external devices, enabling control through brain signals. BCIs have evolved from simple signal recording to advanced neuroprosthetics and theoretical applications in artificial intelligence. They hold potential for assisting individuals with disabilities and enhancing various capabilities, including national defense.

What Does Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Mean?

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that allows communication between a


human or animal brain and an external technology. This term can refer to an interface that
takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware, or a technology that sends
signals to the brain. Various different brain-computer interface technologies have been
developed at different times, through different methods and for diverse purposes, including
in virtual reality technology.

A brain-computer interface may also be known as a brain-machine interface, a direct


neural interface or a mind-machine interface.

Techopedia Explains Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)


Some of the earliest brain-computer interface technologies simply recorded signals from
the brain. More modern BCI technologies are designed as implants that will improve on
skills associated with certain brain activities, such as vision, hearing or other human or
animal functions. A range of these devices, called neuroprosthetics, have been developed
and are in use around the world as a functional means of assisting human capabilities.

Another type of brain-computer interface that is still theoretical relates to the pursuit and
construction of artificial intelligence, where technology is designed to imitate human
intelligence. Brain-computer interfaces have been studied as a possible means toward a
process called "the singularity," which is the theoretical creation of technologies that are
more intelligent than humans. It has been suggested that users could "upload" an entire
human brain to a theoretical type of brain-computer interface that would completely
replicate its function, allowing a human to live on in terms of brain function, without a
human body. These and other similar theories continue to drive interest in developing
more powerful and sophisticated brain-computer interfaces that can more completely
receive a model of high-level human brain activity or intelligence.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) enables a person to control an external device using brain
signals. BCIs could aid people with disabilities and improve national defense capabilities,
among other uses.

A BCI is an artificial intelligence system that can recognize a certain set of patterns in brain
signals following five consecutive stages: signal acquisition, preprocessing or signal
enhancement, feature extraction, classification, and the control interface.
