What Exactly BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) Is and How it can change our lives?
BCI Interface Design BCI, or Brain-Computer Interface, is a technology that enables sending and receiving signals between the brain and various other external devices. The Brain-Computer interface is also known as the Brain-Machine interface. BCI collects and interprets the signals received from the brain and then transmits them to a connected machine to display the desired outcome associated with the respective signal. In layman's terms, BCI is a means of interaction between the brain and an externally connected device. The BCI communication channel is bi-directional, or a two-way link wherein the BCI signal can be transmitted to the connected machine via the human brain, or the other way round, wherein the machine can transmit command/information to the brain of the BCI user. The latter is known as an active BCI, where there is a direct brain connection, while the former is known as passive BCI, which is non-intrusive. How Does BCI Work? Our brains are filled with c...
