SUMMARY

Recent advancements in neurotechnology have demonstrated the ability to transform nerve signals into electrical impulses, enabling the potential for thought-controlled machines. Current research has not yet achieved the implantation of devices such as calculators or mobile phones directly into the human brain. Key areas of exploration include brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neural engineering, which are critical for further development in this field. Resources such as academic articles and TED talks provide valuable insights into the ongoing research and applications of these technologies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)
  • Familiarity with neural engineering concepts
  • Knowledge of neuroprosthetics
  • Basic principles of bioelectrical signal processing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest advancements in brain-computer interface technology
  • Explore neural engineering techniques for device integration
  • Study the implications of neuroprosthetics in medical applications
  • Watch TED talks on real-time brain scanning and its applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, neuroscientists, bioengineers, and technology enthusiasts interested in the intersection of neuroscience and machine interaction will benefit from this discussion.

i know that there have been certain success in transforming nerve to elevtric impulses in both directions. it seems to be really hard to find anything on that topic.

have we managed to implant a calculator or a dictionary, or a mobile phone in human head yet?
can we operate machines by thought?

what keywords are used to describe this (so that I can skan internet for this)
there have probably been topics in this forum can someone direct me
are there good material to read/listen/watch/

thx in advance
