Abstract:
This Chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), a revolutionary technology facilitating direct communication between the human brain and computers. It initiates with an examination of traditional human-computer interaction paradigms, setting the stage for the introduction of BCIs and their pivotal role in unlocking the vast potential of the human mind. Delving deeper, the subsequent sections categorize BCIs into invasive, non-invasive, and hybrid types, elucidating their distinctive applications and underlying technologies. In the realm of healthcare, BCIs offer invaluable assistive technology for individuals with paralysis, drive rehabilitation efforts through neurorehabilitation techniques, and empower users to control prosthetics and devices using brain signals. Moreover, the Chapter explores the integration of BCIs into gaming, entertainment, and virtual reality domains, highlighting their capacity to redefine interactive experiences and enhance immersion. Additionally, it addresses the myriad challenges and ethical considerations inherent in BCI development, while also shedding light on emerging trends and forecasting the profound impact of BCIs on augmenting human potential in the future.
