The Era of Neural Interfaces: How We Are Bridging the Gap Between Humans and Machines
The integration of neural interfaces into our daily lives is no longer the stuff of science fiction; it is becoming a reality. Neural interfaces, also known as braincomputer interfaces (BCIs), allow for direct communication between the brain and external devices. This technology is opening up new possibilities in medicine, communication, and even entertainment. In this blog post, we will delve into the rise of neural interfaces and the profound impact they are expected to have on society. What Are Neural Interfaces? Neural interfaces are devices that create a direct connection between the human brain and external systems. By detecting electrical signals from the brain, these interfaces can be used to control machines, prosthetics, or even virtual environments. BCIs can be either invasive or noninvasive: Invasive BCIs: These require surgical implantation into the brain and offer more precise control. Noninvasive BCIs: These are worn externally, such as EEG caps, and are less precise but easier to use. Applications
