THE BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), defined as systems that allow people to use a computer, an electromechanical arm or various neuroprostheses without the use of motor nervous systems, is a communication pathway used to establish direct communication between the brain and a peripheral interface. The brain-computer interface is often used to help or repair human cognitive or sensory motor functions. However, with today's developing technology, it hasn’t only been used for this purpose and has started to be used in many different areas from advertising, to smart peripheral systems, to games, even authentication and security applications. The increase in access to BCI devices, together with the increase in their usage, has led to an increase in the number of applications that have been developed in health, engineering, and education. We hope that in the near future BCI devices will allow us to communicate without talking and will understand our thoughts and act accordingly.
