BCIs can control external devices to achieve substantial function by recording the electrical signals from the brain such as EEG or ECoG. The computer decodes the electronic signals from the motor cortex to drive robotic systems or stimulate muscles to recover the paralyzed person’s movement. Moreover, the combination of BCIs and sensory cortex can enhance the flexibility and fine control of limbs.
