Brain-Machine Interface

A Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or prosthetic. It works by detecting brain signals, often through electrodes, and translating them into commands that control devices without physical movement. BMIs can help individuals with paralysis regain some control over their environment or restore lost functions. They are used in medical treatments, research, and potentially in augmenting human capabilities, bridging the gap between neural activity and digital systems to enhance interaction and functionality.
