The neurosurgeon's role in brain-machine interfaces

Abstract

Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) have emerged as groundbreaking technologies that bridge the gap between the human brain and external devices. Neurosurgeons play a crucial role in the development, implementation, and clinical application of BMIs. This mini report explores the significant contributions of neurosurgeons in advancing BMIs, including their involvement in surgical procedures, electrode implantation techniques, and patient care. It examines the challenges faced by neurosurgeons and the ethical considerations surrounding BMIs. Furthermore, the mini report highlights the potential of BMIs to revolutionize neurosurgical practice and improve the lives of patients with neurological disorders.
