brain-computer interface
Mind-machine connection
A brain-computer interface is a system that enables direct communication between the brain and an external device, typically a computer.
Electrodes detect neural signals, which software translates into commands—allowing users to control cursors, prosthetic limbs, or other technology through thought alone.
Often abbreviated BCI.
The technology serves people with paralysis or locked-in syndrome and is being developed for broader applications: The brain-computer interface let him type by imagining hand movements.
