Thoughts faster than Actions
Actions are mechanical movements
while thoughts are electrical impulses.
Thoughts are faster than actions
So direct interaction with the world
through thoughts would be faster. BCI
Introduction
What is BCI ?
Enable direct communication pathway between
the brain and the object to be controlled
Sometimes called as a direct neural interface
or a brain machine interface (BMI)
[Link]
Objective
Our objective was to develop and validate a new
brain-computer interface (BCI) system suitable for
long-term independent home use by people with
severe motor disabilities
Motivation
A BCI attempts to provide an additional channel of communication for its
users.
Development of BCIs has been a very active research field in recent
years.
Important for patients is to give disable people to communicate , even
to operate wheelchairs using brain signals .

Current state of BCI
BCI can be used in almost every domain where human to machine
interaction can be imagined.
According to BNCI Horizon 2020, the author embraces the five
application areas for BCIs.

Future of BCI
Time to market
Application
Control of devices 5-10 yrs
User state monitoring 3-5 yrs
Evaluation 1-3 yrs
Training and education 3-5 yrs
Gaming and entertainment Now
Cognitive improvement 3-5 yrs
Safety and security 5-10 yrs
In future among various classical feedbacks (e. g. visual, auditory, haptic) direct
brain micro-stimulation (e.g. deep brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic
stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, etc) patterns will be used.
In order to facilitate the communication between stakeholders and different
disciplines, various international projects were founded. (e. g. BNCI Horizon 2020).
Advantages
It allows paralyzed people to control the prosthetic limbs with their
mind.
Transmit visual images to the mind of a blind person which allows them
to see.
Transmit auditory data to the mind of a deaf person which allows them
to hear.
It allows gamers to control the video games with their minds.
It allows a mute person to have their thoughts to be displayed and
spoken by computer.
Disadvantages
Electrodes outside of the skull can detect very few electric signals from
the brain.
Electrodes placed inside the skull create scar tissue in the brain.
The present BCI technology is crude.
BCI research is still at initial stages and not at matured stage.
Ethical issues may prevent its development.
Applications

Conclusion
Brain-computer interfaces have great potential in almost every
application where human to machine interface can be imagined from
entertainment to artificial prosthesis control.
Enables people to communicate and control appliances with use of brain
signals.
Researchers hope that everything will be mind controlled in future .
