Imagine if you could prepare for your next meeting using only your thoughts – a scenario that could soon become a reality thanks to the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
Humans controlling machines with their minds may sound like the stuff of science fiction movies.
But through brain-computer interfaces, it is no longer the future; it’s becoming a reality – Advanced technology on brain-computer interface was showcased at the exhibition area of the 2023 Zhongguancun (ZGC) Forum, held in Beijing from May 25 to 30, including brain-controlled typing, brain-controlled drone, brain-controlled robot skeleton, BMI for disaster search and rescue, BMI for remote control…
However, some may be afraid that devices may be hacked, unequal access to BCI technology might exist, long-term physical effects are unknown… Here comes the question – will we be ready?
A brain-computer interface (BMI) is a device that converts neuronal information into commands that can control external software or hardware, such as a computer or robotic arm. BMI is often used as an assisted living device for people with motor or sensory impairments.
