BMI (brain-machine interface)

A brain-machine interface (BMI) is a technology that connects the brain to external devices, allowing for direct communication between the two. It translates brain signals into commands that can control computers, prosthetics, or other equipment. This enables individuals, especially those with disabilities, to perform actions using their thoughts alone, such as moving a robotic arm or typing on a screen. BMIs have the potential to enhance rehabilitation and provide new ways to interact with technology, opening doors for both medical applications and broader human-computer interactions.
