Abstract

As the global health landscape deteriorates, the imperative of ensuring our well-being becomes increasingly apparent. The evolution of integrated circuit miniaturization technology has propelled the advancement of brain-computer interfaces to the forefront of research. Breakthroughs in recording and stimulating deep brain activity in humans have paved the way for a groundbreaking healthcare delivery method, referred to as the "Neural Stack" – a wearable medical device leveraging neuromodulation. This innovation contributes significantly to both the development of brain-computer technology and the broader field of neuroscience. In this article, the author delve into recent milestones within the realm of brain-computer interfaces, dissecting the associated challenges and envisioning future developments and applications. Given the interdisciplinary nature of brain-computer technology, contemporary scholars in the new era are compelled to explore and comprehend its intricacies. We are on the brink of an era where all things are interconnected, with brain-computer interfaces serving as the conduit for information exchange.
