3. Background Definition Brain computer interface is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device. It can be used to accomplish a task without requiring motor output. Two major control strategies completion are goal selection annd process control.
7. Key takeaways messages “If you think a remote control is convenient, imagine changing channels with your mind”. “The brain is incredibly complex. To say that all thoughts or actions are the result of simple electric signals in the brain is a gross understatement.”

How does it work?Our brains are filled with neurons and nerves that are connected together. Everytme we think, move, feel or remember something, our neurons are at work. And this is carried out by small electric signals that are transmitted from neutron to neutron. The electrode in the brain then can pick up the signals and is transmitted to a computer and you can control things. This electrode can either be implanted in our brain, or attached to the scalp.
GamingPerhaps, we can become avatars in the future, we can enter another dimension and control everything with our thoughts.However, more importantly, it will be able to allow severly disabled people to function independently. This would represent a revolutionary improvement in quality of life.
With a such a powerful technology, do you think it will give rise to any negative implications? Please elaborateWhat do you think are the future implications as a result of this technology? (social, political etc)Do you think this will ever become a commercialized product?
