“…Some academic reports and media promotions have exaggerated the efficacy of BCI technology, potentially leading to excessively high public expectations. Although existing literature suggests that BCI technology has capabilities for monitoring, replacing, improving/restoring, enhancing, and supplementing functions, the magnitude and degree of these effects still require objective evaluation ( Kothe and Makeig, 2013 ; Ramsey and Millán, 2020 ; Gu et al, 2021 ; Moses et al, 2021 ; Xu et al, 2021 ; Rouzitalab et al, 2023 ). For example, the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of BCI in the treatment or rehabilitation of central nervous system-related diseases/disorders remain unclear or non-standardized.…”

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a revolutionizing human-computer interaction, which has potential applications for specific individuals or groups in specific scenarios. Extensive research has been conducted on the principles and implementation methods of BCI, and efforts are currently being made to bridge the gap from research to real-world applications. However, there are inaccurate or erroneous conceptions about BCI among some members of the public, and certain media outlets, as well as some BCI researchers, developers, manufacturers, and regulators, propagate misleading or overhyped claims about BCI technology. Therefore, this article summarizes the several misconceptions and misleading propaganda about BCI, including BCI being capable of “mind-controlled,” “controlling brain,” “mind reading,” and the ability to “download” or “upload” information from or to the brain using BCI, among others. Finally, the limitations (shortcomings) and limits (boundaries) of BCI, as well as the necessity of conducting research aimed at countering BCI systems are discussed, and several suggestions are offered to reduce misconceptions and misleading claims about BCI.

Motor brain-computer interface (BCI) refers to the BCI that decodes voluntary motion intentions from brain signals directly and outputs corresponding control commands without activating peripheral nerves and muscles. Motor BCIs can be used for the restoration, compensation, and augmentation of motor function by activating the neuromuscular circuit and facilitating neural plasticity. The essential applications of motor BCIs include neurorehabilitation and daily-life assistance for motor-impaired patients. In recent years, studies on motor BCIs mainly concentrate on neural signatures, movement decoding, and its applications. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research of electroencephalography (EEG) signals-based motor BCIs for the first time. We also aim to give some insights into advancing motor BCIs to a more natural and practical application scenario. In particular, we focus on the motor BCIs for the movements of the upper limbs. Specifically, the experimental paradigms, techniques, and application systems of upper-limb BCIs are reviewed. Several vital issues in developing more natural and practical upper-limb motor BCIs, including developing target-users-oriented, distraction-robust, and multi-limbs motor BCIs, and applying fusion techniques to promote the natural and practical motor BCIs, are discussed.

A brain–computer interface (BCI) serves as a direct communication channel between brain activity and external devices, typically a computer or robotic limb. Advances in technology have led to the increasing use of intracranial electrical recording or stimulation in the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and movement disorders. This indicates that BCIs can offer clinical neurological rehabilitation for patients with disabilities and functional impairments. They also provide a means to restore consciousness and functionality for patients with sequelae from major brain diseases. Whether invasive or non-invasive, the collected cortical or deep signals can be decoded and translated for communication. This review aims to provide an overview of the advantages of endovascular BCIs compared with conventional BCIs, along with insights into the specific anatomical regions under study. Given the rapid progress, we also provide updates on ongoing clinical trials and the prospects for current research involving endovascular electrodes.
