Nampelly Chandu* and Dr. Amtul Muqeet Rafia

ABSTRACT

In this world many people have their perception towards external stimuli, it’s very tough for an individual to say about their sense of smell, taste, hearing, etc. Most of the people who are suffering from the neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Quadriplegia, and many other brain diseases. What if we cure a person just by controlling the neural activity in the Brain? Well, to put a permanent solution for these all the BMI (Brain Machine Interface) has come into existence. The main function of the BMI is to convert the neural signals into commands to produce the desired outcome, the impulses (action potentials) from the neurons are captured by the electrodes placed in the brain and are converted into commands by using the EEG (Electroencephalography), ECOG (Electrocorticography) and the Neuralink App designed in such a way that, it assists in connecting with nearby devices. There are many added advantages such as enhancing the cognitive and physiological abilities of a person, creating a permanent solution for dementia, and surviving the upcoming generations with upgraded versions of artificial intelligence, also there are many challenges such as privacy issues, and security for the information are faced by this chip. This article emphasizes an overall review of the Brain-Machine Interface (BMI). What this is made up of? How does it function? Is it compatible with humans or not? What are the applications and limitations?
