Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) establish a direct connection between neurons and external systems, enabling people to control computers, prosthetics, or other devices using thought alone. While their current applications are primarily medical—restoring movement, enabling communication for individuals with paralysis, or treating neurological disorders like epilepsy and Parkinson’s—BCIs also hold transformative potential for computing, human-machine interaction, and extending human capabilities. In this talk, I will share my lab’s research on building the next generation of BCIs with the computational power needed to bring this vision closer to reality.
