Brain-computer interface (BCI) is the technology act as a interface between the brain and an external device. It converts the signals emitted by the CNS of the brain to artificial output to be understood by the computer. This technology will be most useful to the severely disabled individual or people suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brainstem stroke, or any spinal cord injury and thus are impaired of tier ability to communicate and physical functioning. With the fast-paced development and interest of various top-notch companies in this arena due to its positive future Efforts have begun recently to provide safe and secure BCI systems to severely disabled individuals to make their lives easier. In this paper, we will know about BCI , its basic functioning. We will also discuss its clinical application, p300 speller, and its potential for future. Lastly expectation from the future.
