Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs ) are now a reality. For most people, this sounds like science fiction. However, we will soon be able to see their results in practice, both in business and in medical matters. Within the next decade, it will become an everyday thing and sales of the corresponding devices of this interface will continue to increase.
Naturally, the benefits of BMI are very interesting, as now the ability to connect the human brain with a computer will be provided. For example, they will be able to take from the brain the data they need and give the commands they desire to devices, with a thought.
Perhaps the most well-known company working on BMI is Elon Musk Neuralink . The company's goal is to develop this technology in such a way that machines are no longer considered smarter than humans. The truth is that this interface could very well be the beginning.
If you think about it, the first BMI prototypes have been presented for years. Let's not forget that there are already people who, for example, cannot hear, who manage with cochlear implants, and others who cannot see acquire some form of vision through visual prosthetics.
Technology analyst Juniper Research says that while the devices have not yet moved beyond this early stage, they will soon expand into other areas.
Such a device, like the ones Musk is talking about, would give the user the ability to perform guided meditation and improve sleep for well-being, as well as monitor the user during periods of fatigue or loss of concentration. As expected, we expect to see a special development in gaming.
According to Musk BMIs , which relate to medical devices, will be particularly expensive, since clinical trials are still being conducted to optimize them.
