computers through neural signals but that obviously will be difficult to judge because the field of research is still in its infancy. • Direct neural communication between humans and computers. May be the future computers will one day come along with biological signal sensors and thought-recognition inbuilt software just as keyboard and mouse. There are many challenges in the future of the BCI field. These applications could be improved. Accuracy, speed, usability and feedback methods should…
