Brain-computer interface

Here in the Northern Hemisphere spring is in full bloom! In this time of newness, let’s explore brain-computer interfaces (BCI). BCI technologies create a direct connection between a person’s brain and a computer. They do this by analysing brain waves and translating them into commands that are carried out by an output device.

The emergence of BCI has created a new information market and has given rise to a myriad of ethical concerns and questions. Currently, BCIs are mostly being used for clinical research, but as they increasingly enter the mainstream, it makes us wonder what avenues it will open up in the future.
