Understanding Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow users to control devices using their thoughts, representing a groundbreaking advancement in communication with technology. These interfaces aim to eliminate the reliance on physical actions, offering more efficient interactions with digital systems. For instance, imagining controlling computers or mobile devices just by thinking about an action illustrates this potential. Enhanced BCIs could potentially bypass limitations found in traditional means of communication, such as reading speeds or listening comprehension.
