Neural Implants and Brain-Computer Interfaces

Neural implants and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) facilitate direct communication between the brain and external devices, with applications in medicine, prosthetics, and human augmentation. They can restore movement for paralyzed individuals and enable amputees to control artificial limbs, while also being explored for treating neurological conditions. However, advancements raise ethical and privacy concerns regarding data security and potential misuse.

• BCIs help restore movement for individuals
with paralysis by allowing brain signals to
control robotic limbs. In neuroprosthetics,
brain implants enable amputees to control
artificial limbs with their thoughts.
Researchers are also developing BCIs for
treating neurological conditions such as
epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease.
