Brain-computer interfaces will solve many disabilities

Brain-computer interface (BCI) will be one of the most exciting technologies for the next generation of business. Channels of communication between human brain and computer attributes will generate unique forms of reactions in a daily basis in business life.

   Brain-computer technology is already in use. Since 2004, paralyzed people have been implanted with an early stage of this technology in order to govern movement using an array of small electrodes embedded into the motor cortex within their brains. Actually, these electrodes detect the neurons that fire when someone intends to move her/his hands and arms.

   If scientists use the above technique in order to implant additional capabilities into a human brain, such as Elon Musk wants with his company called Neuralink, a brain-computer interface venture, then it will lead to a new era of the way we use our thoughts.

   Mind-controlled robotic exoskeletons, computers, or even the whole interface of the internet of things, could raise a huge amount of applications. However, this technology is still in a laboratory-controlled environment. Machine-learning techniques are not capable enough today to exploit all the functional areas of a human brain.

   Furthermore, hand microchip implants is a more feasible way of applying in the near future, because brain-computer chips should first be able to be deciphered without opening up the skull. This is extremely important before having unexpected results during the implementation of this technology.
