1. The Dawn of Direct Neural Communication Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) represent a revolutionary technology that establishes a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. Moving beyond simple measurement tools, advanced BCIs decode neural signals—thoughts, intentions, or motor commands—and translate them into actionable outputs, bypassing the body’s natural peripheral nervous system. This technology … Read more
