The document discusses brain-computer interfaces (BCI), which allow direct communication between the brain and an external device. BCI provides a pathway for controlling devices with one's thoughts alone. The document outlines the history of BCI research, the types of BCI (invasive, partially invasive, non-invasive), how BCI works, its objectives in helping disabled individuals, and applications including controlling prosthetics and wheelchairs. While promising, BCI also faces limitations like high costs, slow speeds, and potential health risks.
