This document discusses brain-machine interfaces (BMI) and how carbon nanotubes could be used to improve them. It defines BMI as a collaboration where the brain controls a mechanical device. It then describes different types of invasive and noninvasive BMI and how diamond chips and carbon nanotubes could replace silicon in BMI circuits for benefits like higher temperatures and speeds. Potential applications discussed include using BMI for rehabilitation, daily tasks, communication, and enhancing military performance.
