A '''brain–computer interface''' ('''BCI'''), sometimes called a '''brain–machine interface''' ('''BMI'''), is a direct communication link between the [[brain]]'s electrical activity and an external device, most commonly a computer or robotic limb. BCIs are often directed at researching, [[Brain mapping|mapping]], assisting, [[Augmented cognition|augmenting]], or repairing human [[Cognitive skill|cognitive]] or [[Sensory-motor coupling|sensory-motor functions]].<ref name="Krucoff 584">{{cite journal | vauthors = Krucoff MO, Rahimpour S, Slutzky MW, Edgerton VR, Turner DA | title = Enhancing Nervous System Recovery through Neurobiologics, Neural Interface Training, and Neurorehabilitation | journal = Frontiers in Neuroscience | volume = 10 | page = 584 |year=2016 | pmid = 28082858 | pmc = 5186786 | doi = 10.3389/fnins.2016.00584 | doi-access = free }}</ref> They are often conceptualized as a [[human–machine interface]] that skips the intermediary of moving body parts (e.g. hands or feet).

====Donoghue, Schwartz, and Andersen====
[[File:164_Angell_Street.jpg|thumb|BCIs are a core focus of the [[Carney Institute for Brain Science]] at [[Brown University]]. ]]
Other laboratories that have developed BCIs and algorithms that decode neuron signals include [[John Donoghue (neuroscientist)|John Donoghue]] at the [[Carney Institute for Brain Science]] at [[Brown University]], Andrew Schwartz at the [[University of Pittsburgh]], and [[Richard A. Andersen (neuroscientist)|Richard Andersen]] at [[Caltech]]. These researchers produced working BCIs using recorded signals from far fewer neurons than Nicolelis (15–30 neurons versus 50–200 neurons).
 
Line 84:
Nicolelis and colleagues demonstrated that large neural ensembles can predict arm position. This work allowed BCIs to read arm movement intentions and translate them into actuator movements. Carmena and colleagues<ref name=carmena2003/> programmed a BCI that allowed a monkey to control reaching and grasping movements by a robotic arm. Lebedev and colleagues argued that brain networks reorganize to create a new representation of the robotic appendage in addition to the representation of the animal's own limbs.<ref name="lebedev2005" />
 
In 2019, aresearchers studyfrom reportedthe University of San Francisco, California, initiated a brain-computer interface (BCI) study that had the potential to helpaid patients with speech impairment causedresulting byfrom neurological disorders.

The biggest impediment to BCI technology is the lack of a sensor modality that provides safe, accurate and robust access to brain signals. The use of a better sensor expands the range of communication functions that can be provided using a BCI.
Line 94:
BCIs led to a deeper understanding of neural networks and the [[central nervous system]]. Research has reported that despite neuroscientists' inclination to believe that neurons have the most effect when working together, single neurons can be conditioned through the use of BCIs to fire in a pattern that allows primates to control motor outputs. BCIs led to development of the single neuron insufficiency principle that states that even with a well-tuned firing rate, single neurons can only carry limited information and therefore the highest level of accuracy is achieved by recording ensemble firings. Other principles discovered with BCIs include the neuronal multitasking principle, the neuronal mass principle, the neural degeneracy principle, and the plasticity principle.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Nicolelis MA, Lebedev MA | title = Principles of neural ensemble physiology underlying the operation of brain-machine interfaces | journal = Nature Reviews.

BCIs are proposed to be applied by users without disabilities. Passive BCIs allow for assessing and interpreting changes in the user state during Human-Computer Interaction ([[Human-ComputerHuman–computer Interaction|HCIinteraction]] (HCI). In a secondary, implicit control loop, the system adapts to its user, improving its [[usability]].<ref name=":0">{{cite journal |vauthors=Zander TO, Kothe C |date=April 2011 |title=Towards passive brain-computer interfaces: applying brain-computer interface technology to human-machine systems in general |journal=Journal of Neural Engineering |volume=8 |issue=2 |pages=025005 |bibcode=2011JNEng...8b5005Z |doi=10.1088/1741-2560/8/2/025005 |pmid=21436512 |s2cid=37168897}}</ref>

====The BCI Award====
The [[Annual BCI Research Award|BCI Research Award]] is awarded annually in recognition of innovative research. Each year, a renowned research laboratory is asked to judge projects. The jury consists of BCI experts recruited by that laboratory. The jury selects twelve nominees, then chooses a first, second, and third-place winner, who receive awards of $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000, respectively.{{cn|date=April 2025}}

In May 2021, a Stanford University team reported a successful proof-of-concept test that enabled a quadraplegic participant to produce English sentences at about 86 characters per minute and 18 words per minute. The participant imagined moving his hand to write letters, and the system performed handwriting recognition on electrical signals detected in the motor cortex, utilizing [[Hidden Markov models]] and [[recurrent neural networks]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Willett FR, Avansino DT, Hochberg LR, Henderson JM, Shenoy KV | title = High-performance brain-to-text communication via handwriting | journal = Nature | volume = 593 | issue = 7858 | pages = 249–254 | date = May 2021 | pmid = 33981047 | pmc = 8163299 | doi = 10.1038/s41586-021-03506-2 | bibcode = 2021Natur.593..249W }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Willett FR |title=Brain-Computer Interface Research: A State-of-the-Art Summary 10|chapter=A High-Performance Handwriting BCI|date=2021 |pages=105–109| veditors = Guger C, Allison BZ, Gunduz A |series=SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering|place=Cham|publisher=Springer International Publishing|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-79287-9_11|isbn=978-3-030-79287-9 |s2cid=239736609}}</ref>
Since researchers from [[University of California, San Francisco|UCSF]] initiated a brain-computer interface (BCI) study, numerous reports have been made.

In a review article, authors wondered whether human information transfer rates can surpass that of language with BCIs. Language research has reported that information transfer rates are relatively constant across many languages. This may reflect the brain's information processing limit. Alternatively, this limit may be intrinsic to language itself, as a modality for information transfer.<ref name=":5">{{cite journal | vauthors = Pandarinath C, Bensmaia SJ | title = The science and engineering behind sensitized brain-controlled bionic hands | journal = Physiological Reviews | date = September 2021 | volume = 102 | issue = 2 | pages = 551–604 | pmid = 34541898 | doi = 10.1152/physrev.00034.2020 | pmc = 8742729 | s2cid = 237574228 }}</ref>

== Ethical considerations==
Concerns center on the safety and long-term effects on users. These include obtaining [[informed consent]] from individuals with communication difficulties, the impact on patients' and families' quality of life, health-related side effects, misuse of therapeutic applications, safety risks, and the non-reversible nature of some BCI-induced changes. Additionally, questions arise about access to maintenance, repair, and spare parts, particularly in the event of a company's bankruptcy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Paralyzed Again |url=https://www.technologyreview.com/2015/04/09/168424/paralyzed-again/ |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=MIT Technology Review |language=en}}</ref>
 
The legal and social aspects of BCIs complicate mainstream adoption. Concerns include issues of accountability and responsibility, such as claims that BCI influence overrides free will and control over actions, inaccurate translation of cognitive intentions, personality changes resulting from deep-brain stimulation, and the blurring of the line between human and machine.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gale - Product Login |url=https://galeapps.gale.com/apps/auth?userGroupName=nysl_ca_arg&sid=googleScholar&da=true&origURL=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.gale.com%2Fps%2Fi.do%3Fid%3DGALE%257CA594456959%26sid%3DgoogleScholar%26v%3D2.1%26it%3Dr%26linkaccess%3Dabs%26issn%3D00280836%26p%3DAONE%26sw%3Dw%26userGroupName%3Dnysl_ca_arg%26aty%3Dip&prodId=AONE |access-date=2023-12-08 |website=galeapps.gale.com}}</ref> Other concerns involve the use of BCIs in advanced interrogation techniques, unauthorized access ("brain hacking"),<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ienca |first1=Marcello |last2=Haselager |first2=Pim |date=June 2016 |title=Hacking the brain: brain-computer interfacing technology and the ethics of neurosecurity |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10676-016-9398-9 |journal=Ethics & Information Technology |volume=18 |issue=2 |pages=117–129 |doi=10.1007/s10676-016-9398-9 |s2cid=5132634|hdl=2066/157644 |hdl-access=free |url-access=subscription }}</ref> social stratification through selective enhancement, privacy issues related to mind-reading, tracking and "tagging" systems, and the potential for mind, movement, and emotion control.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Steinert |first1=Steffen |last2=Friedrich |first2=Orsolya |date=2020-02-01 |title=Wired Emotions: Ethical Issues of Affective Brain–Computer Interfaces |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s11948-019-00087-2 |journal=Science and Engineering Ethics |language=en |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=351–367 |doi=10.1007/s11948-019-00087-2 |issn=1471-5546 |pmc=6978299 |pmid=30868377}}</ref>
 
In their current form, most BCIs are more akin to corrective therapies that engage few of such ethical issues.
