Can Nanotechnology Enhance Brain-Computer Interfaces?
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are systems that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices. Nanotechnology can significantly improve BCIs by providing more efficient and biocompatible materials for electrodes and sensors. Nanoscale electrodes can record neural signals with higher fidelity, while nanostructured materials can create flexible and durable interfaces that integrate seamlessly with brain tissue. These advancements could revolutionize prosthetics, assistive technologies, and even cognitive enhancement.
