Chinese companies and research institutions have made notable progress in implementing Potentially revolutionary brain-computer interface technology (BCI), taking significant steps to embrace this exciting technology in various practical application scenarios.

Technology can collect and process electrical signals generated by neural activities in the cerebral cortex and convert them into signals recognizable by a computer, opening new opportunities for this innovative software to be applied in many areas with various functions in real life.

A successful example of BCI app is a bionic hand developed by Chinese researchers.

Combining the power of BCI and artificial intelligence (AI), the device can recognize weak electrical signals from the muscles and nerves in the user’s arm and identify their movement intention, so that The user can control the bionic hand with his own mind.

Another BCI product, a headset, can collect electrical signals from the human brain and translate them into visualized graphs that show a person’s attention.

“It can collect the electrical signals that we can’t see and draw a ‘map’ using the signals. We can then look at the graphs to find areas that are performing poorly and areas that are performing well and improve brain performance accordingly,” said Du Zhanhong, the founder of a technology company based in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.

Until now, BCI has been applied in many areas, especially in medical and scientific research sectorscontributing to the treatment of diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, depression and many other physical and mental illnesses.

The developers are also exploring new application scenarios to incorporate BCI technology into people’s daily lives, working to enable control of lights, tablet devices and other home items through brain signals.
