For BrainComputer Interfaces to Be Useful, They’ll Need to Be Wireless
MIT Technology Review
For decades, braincomputer interfaces have been imagined as a way for people who are paralyzed or those who have lost arms to be able to do everyday tasks like brushing their hair or clicking a TV remote—just by thinking about it. Such robotic

mindBEAGLE BrainComputer Interface Gives Non-Speaking, Immobilized People a Voice
IEEE Spectrum
The system, called mindBEAGLE, relies on electroencephalography (EEG) to detect brain activity, and machine-learning algorithms to interpret the meaning of that activity—a type of communication called braincomputer interface, or BCI. In the

MIT Technology Review
Leuthardt is by no means the only one with exotic ambitions for what are known as braincomputer interfaces. Last March Elon Musk, a founder of Tesla and SpaceX, launched Neuralink, a venture aiming to create devices that facilitate mind-machine melds
