Risks and Challenges of BCIs

Brain implants, also known as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), are fascinating technologies that connect the human brain to computers.
Implants come with surgical risks (bleeding, infection) and unique risks related to brain stimulation.
BCIs can trigger epileptiform activity, a precursor for epilepsy.
Researchers are also exploring BCI use for mental and cognitive processes linked with obesity
In summary, brain implants hold immense potential for improving the lives of individuals with disabilities, but ongoing research is essential to address risks and refine their capabilities
