Brain chips are hybrid devices that allow for the transfer of information between computer chips and brain cells. They consist of electrodes implanted in the brain that detect electrical signals, which are then transmitted to an external computer via a connector and converter. This allows severely disabled individuals to control external devices with their thoughts by translating brain signals into commands. While promising for communication assistance, brain chips face challenges from scar tissue formation and limitations in the number of detectable brain signals. Further research is still needed to fully realize their potential.
