92 204 479 | Augments physical and cognitive human abilities by linking brain activity to external devices, May 17, 2018


A Brain–Computer Interface (BCI or Brain-Machine Interface; BMI) is a hardware and software communication system that can read a certain set of patterns in brain signals, using them to control computers or external devices.


BCI acquires electrical activities from the brain and nerves. The complexity and volume of brain signals are difficult and complicated to read and interpret, so BCI relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI, the concept of machines being able to carry out complex tasks with applications of machine learning, deep learning, neuronal network models, and big data).


479 is the 92nd prime number

BCI devices are “Neuroprostheses that interface with the central or peripheral nervous system to restore lost motor or sensory capabilities” (an FDA working definition of BCI). Restoration is accomplished by:

1. Delivering electrical stimulation that excites or inhibits neural tissue; or
2. Reading electrical activities generated by the brain or nerves and then, uses BCI to control external devices.
