The World Health Organization (WHO), have announced that 700 million mental and neurological disorders (MNDs) cases are reported each year, accounting for 13% of the global illness burden. 150 million people suffer from depression, 25 million have schizophrenia, 38 million have epilepsy, and 90 million suffer from a substance misuse disorder.

Brain Computer Interface Market Infographic 2020-2030

Procedure: BCIs work in three steps: They gather brain signals, interpret them, and then send commands to a linked machine based on their signals. Non-invasive (Wearables) BCI sensors are placed on the scalp, whereas Invasive BCI requires surgery to implant electrodes under the scalp for communicating brain signals.

Benefits:

Converts previously passive devices into 'smart' and active ones. (for example, prosthetics)

Enables communication using Sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs).

Restoration of motor control in paralyzed patients.

Environmental control. (e.g., controlling room temperature, light, power beds, TV, etc.)

Telepresence in the military can detect any suspicious activity and help combat it.

Video-Game based BCI increases user engagement & control in the game using brain signals.

Prevent accidents by using a BCI-enabled Car.

Train motor/cognitive abilities of old age people to prevent the aging effects.

Neurorehabilitation using BCI systems serves as therapeutic tools to help people whose neuromuscular function has been impaired by trauma or disease to relearn useful motor function.

Types: Depending upon the device's location, there are different techniques to measure brain signals.

Non-invasive BCIs (wearables): The sensors are placed on the scalp (on the head) to measure the electrical potentials produced by the brain. These Flexible devices can capture only "weaker" human brain signals because of the obstruction of the skull.

Partially invasive BCIs: The electrodes are attached to the brain's exposed surface (partially inside). Electrodes monitor electrical activity from the cerebral cortex in ECoG Electrocorticography.

Invasive: Micro-electrodes are inserted directly into the cortex (within the brain) and are used to measure the activity of a single neuron. Intracranial EEG is regarded as the gold standard for localizing where exactly in the brain seizures start as it is more specific than a non-invasive EEG.

Various non-invasive procedures for studying the brain, includes:

EEG (Electroencephalography): is a technique for measuring electrical activity in the brain from the scalp surface. The electrical current created by the brain is picked up by electrodes placed on the scalp. EEG is the most commonly used because of the cost and hardware portability.

MEG (Magnetoencephalography): MEG measures the magnetic field produced by brain currents and has a higher spatial resolution than EEG.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography): It is a nuclear imaging technique used in medicine to study several processes in the body, including blood flow, metabolism, and neurotransmitters.

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging): In this, minute variations in blood flow caused by brain activity are measured. It is a radiation-free technology that is simple to use and has an excellent spatial and temporal resolution.

fNIRS (Functional near-infrared spectroscopy): It uses NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) for functional neuro-imaging. The hemodynamic responses associated with neuron behaviour quantify brain activity using fNIRS.

Cost: There is wide range of products in BCI. Low-cost EEG costs below $350 for 24 electrodes. According to research published in NCBI, invasive BCIs have a high initial cost and the cost of ongoing technical assistance. Although non-invasive BCI devices have low upfront costs (e.g., $5,000-$10,000), they require continuing technical assistance.
