Exploring Neurotechnology and Brain Computer Interfaces
What is Neurotechnology? Neurotechnology refers to tools and systems designed to interface with the brain or nervous system to understand, repair, or enhance brain function. It combines neuroscience, engineering, and computer science to create innovative solutions for medical and non-medical applications. What are Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)? A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device, allowing humans to control machines or software using their brain activity. BCIs analyze brain signals and convert them into commands for devices. How BCIs Work: Signal Acquisition : BCIs use sensors (e.g., EEG electrodes) to detect brain activity in the form of electrical signals. Signal Processing : The collected data is filtered and analyzed to interpret specific patterns related to the user's intention. Output Execution : The interpreted signals are converted into commands to control external devices like prosthetics, compute
