Prospects and Problems of Brain Computer Interface in Healthcare

Abstract: Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) otherwise known as a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is an emergent technology whose goal is to create a real-time and direct communication pathway between the brain and external devices such as computers, robots, artificial limbs and wheelchairs. In BCI, cerebral or brain activities control these devices by transmitting and receiving signals from the brain. BCI is applied in healthcare to improve the communication capabilities of people living with disabilities or locked in syndro… Show more

“…This feeling of eeriness has been described and named the “Uncanny Valley” by Mori (1970) [ 59 ]. Mori observed that robots appeal more to people with a human-like appearance, but only up to a certain point [ 59 , 60 ]. After reaching the uncanny valley, a person’s affinity decreases into a feeling of unease and a tendency to become scared.…”

“…As for augmenting our bodies and brains, a growing literature has shown that it is not necessarily so easy to live with ones prostheses (e.g. Davies and Dattta, 2003) and the use of brain/computer interfaces requires extensive training and is exhausting for the user over any long period (Olaronke et al, 2018). Many who have electrodes implanted for deep brain stimulation to modulate mobility problems cause by Parkinson’s, and now to ‘treat’ depression, ask for them to be turned off as they dislike the effects they have on their own sense of personhood (Bluhm et al, 2020; Dubiel, 2009).…”
