Abstract

Purvish Mahendra ParikhBrain-computer interfaces are becoming a tangible reality, capable of significantly aiding patients in real-world scenarios. The recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical human trials of Neuralink marks a monumental stride, comparable to Mr. Armstrong's moonwalk. Numerous other companies are also pioneering innovative solutions in this domain. Presently, over 150,000 patients in the United States possess brain implants. As technology advances, it holds the potential to alleviate various conditions, notably motor paralysis, cerebral palsy, and involuntary movements.
