Abstract : Direct control of mechanical or electrical equipment through mental activity is made possible by brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), often referred to as brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Using only brain signals, users of BCIs can operate external systems without using neurostimulators, which trigger neural tissues. This allows users to avoid using peripheral neurological and muscle systems. The brain's ability to incorporate and regulate mechanical devices as extensions of its own physiological processes is demonstrated by this capability.When it comes to helping those with severe impairments, BCI systems have a lot of potential uses. For people who suffer from neurological conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brainstem stroke, or spinal cord injury who are completely paralyzed or "locked in," they provide a substantial benefit in terms of communication. By directly converting brain intent into executable commands, BCI technology aims to enable communication. This is especially helpful for those who are unable to speak.Neuroprosthetics, which attempt to restore lost motor and sensory functions, have been the main focus of BCI research and development. These systems make use of artificial devices to treat brain-related illnesses, take over for faulty nervous system functions, and compensate for compromised sensory organs. As this science develops, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have the potential to improve cognitive capacities and the quality of life for people with severe disabilities.
