Brain computer interfaces to produce smart artificial limbs that interact with your brain!


What have the scientists taken today’s computer technology to? It’s somehow quite beyond our imagination. Some researchers have claimed that they’ve managed to produce some computer interfaces that can be part of your body and interact with your brain. This new computing technology is called invasive BCI, which has now taken BCI a step further for integrating into human body to replace lost body parts.The invasive BCI is a great invention that can replace the lost parts of your body, such as lost limbs and even lost memory! Of course, you’d argue that artificial limbs have been available for ages. But the invasive BCI is different from the conventional artificial limbs which are made simply plastic imitations of the originals and they’re so called dead, which don’t interact with your brain. The BCIs can be used to produce artificial limbs built with silicon chips that can respond with pulses from the brain, which works exactly like the real limbs.
