Brain Computer Interface – Rising Adoption of Wearable Medical Devices

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that agree to communicate between a human-brain with an external technology. The term can be referred to an interface that takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware that sends signals to the brain. There are different brain-computer interface technologies developed, through different methods and for diversified purposes, including in virtual reality technology.

Brain computer interface is a kind of device which enables creating an interface between human brains and electronic devices such as IoT devices and computers. This device helps in creating a pathway between the brain and surrounded objects. Brain computer interface utilises various sensors and electrodes for detecting electronic signals in the brain which is mostly sent by electronic devices such as computers. Such devices facilitate communication pathway between an active brain and surrounding electronic devices which are majorly used for calibrating the movement for handicapped individuals.

Brain computer interface system helps in recording brain signals from the cortex surface through implanting signalling devices within the brain or placing sensors over the scalp. Then, such signals get transmitted to the connected devices for enabling operators to perform multiple tasks. Brain computer interface helps paralysed people to overcome their physical challenges and enables them to perform their daily tasks.

Applications of Brain Computer Interface

Brain computer interface technologies are gaining traction of the healthcare industry. Imaging technologies such as electroencephalography and NRI has been integrated with brain computer interface for diagnosing and curing disorders such as Alzheimer's, paralysis, cerebral palsy, dementia, vision impairment, hearing impairment, etc. Brain computer interface application is not restricted to this one particular industry. It has already found applications in other industry domains such as defense & aerospace and education & research.

The devices used in the process are sensors and electrodes that are placed in the grey matter of the brain. Thus, the developments of the sensor technology are also supposed to play a crucial role in widening the application base of brain-machine interface. Also, the technological innovations in end-user industries are supposed to open avenues of BCI adoption in the years to come. Also, increasing prevalence of brain disorders is anticipated to catalyze the investments in research & development.

Future Prognosis of Brain Computer Interface

Some of the key players influencing the market are Integra LifeSciences Corporation., Mindmaze, CASMED, EMOTIV, Compumedics Limited, Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc., Natus Medical Incorporated., OpenBCI, Cadwell Industries, Inc., and Cortech Solutions, Inc.
