Review:
Brain Computer Interface (bci)
overall review score: 4.2
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that enables direct communication between the human brain and external devices or computers. It captures neural signals, interprets them, and translates them into commands that can control prosthetics, computer cursors, or other digital systems. BCIs are primarily used for medical rehabilitation, assistive technologies, neuroscience research, and potential enhancements of human cognitive capabilities.
