Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have enabled paralysed people to operate computers by thought alone. They have also been used to restore speech after it has been lost due to a stroke, and have shown promise for restoring sight to the blind. As applications expand, BCIs are even starting to be used for real or perceived mental augmentation.

This video explains how knowledge from physics and materials science is helping to improve BCIs – to make them safer, more durable and widely available. Learn more on this topic in the recent article ‘Plug me in: the physics of brain–computer interfaces’.
