Overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces
Brain-computer interfaces allow direct interaction with the brain either by feeding in information or receiving signals from the brain. These technologies involve implanting electrodes in the brain to pick up electrical signals related to movement, which are then decoded by a computer to control devices like cursors or robotic arms. Users of these interfaces can quickly adapt to controlling devices with their thoughts, resembling the process of learning basic motor skills.
