Brain computer interfaces( BCI )

 It is fascinating to think about where our future is heading with technology. Doesn't it wander you how the capacity of our brain is beyond measure as it can rewire itself?! 

Human connect their mind to artificial intelligence, and the revolution seen nowadays is more interesting than it's ever been.

Let me introduce you to brain-computer interfaces(BCI). In this blog article, we will discuss what BCI is, how they work, and for what purpose they can be used.

What is BCI?

Brain-computer interface( BCI )- a device that connects the human brain to an external device ( software/hardware), like a computer or AI, to create direct communication. There are many people out there who have a lot to say and contribute to the world, yet they cannot convey their message to the world as they wish to. In fact, many people are using BCI to their advantage. We can mention Parkinson’s disease patients, paralyzed people only using their brains to type a word.

How do they work?

Brain-computer interfaces utilize different types and methods, but they are all designed based on the electrophysiology of the neural network in the brain. Whenever we make a decision or even contemplate making one, there is a generation of electrical chemical signals in our nervous system, specifically in the inter-neuron gaps known as synapses where they communicate with each other. To capture this brain activity, BCIs position electrodes near these synapses, which detect voltages and measure the frequency and intensity of each signal as they fire or have the potential to do so.

Purposes they can be used for

• Being able to capture your ideas into words, and images
• Being able to send thoughts and even emotions to your friends and family wirelessly from anywhere in the world.
• Upload your memories
• BCI may be advantageous for individuals who are unable to move owing to neurological disorders such as stroke, and spinal cord damage

In a nutshell, the development and advancements in brain-computer interfaces have opened up a world of possibilities, from assisting individuals with disabilities to unlocking the full potential of the human brain and its capacity to communicate with technology. It is exciting to imagine what the future holds for BCI technology and how it may continue to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us.
