Development and Clinical Application of BMI

Abstract

The brain‒machine interface（BMI）is an interface between brain signals and external devices and can be divided into output‒type BMI, input‒type BMI, bidirectional‒type BMI, replacement part BMI, etc. In recent years, the rapid development of neural decoding and neural sensing technology has accelerated the medical applications of BMI. In addition, neuromodulation based on BMI is expected to be applied in clinical situations to treat neuropsychiatric disorders by inducing plastic changes in neural activity. In this paper, we outline the status of BMI development and its clinical application and introduce our efforts in this area.
