I ran across Commercial brain computer systems are coming today (original article is here). This is a cool graphic:
I've talked previously about Human-Computer interface (HCI) work.
Invasive BCI technologies have incredible potential. In addition to the unique device-human interface challenges (primarily sensors), it will also require significant advancements in the basic understanding of the underlying electrophysiology (cortical and motor). As reported, EEG-based processing will continue to be a corner-stone for this work, just as it is for non-invasive systems.
This slide from the report (pp. 170) summarizes the uses and importance of this type of work:
Here's a shorter overview of BMI: Mind Controlled Bionic Limbs
Another appliacation of this technology that would be beneficial would be for virtual reality. Imagine the BCI interface controlling a remote surgery or life-size 3D architectural mock-ups for home design.

i’v been studing about the brain chip & if you can do this so people with ADD-ADHD & people who has learning disabilities can get signals to the brainchip in the brain to a pc so they can learn better & faster from signals. The chip has to be bio-organic so it won’t hurt the brain. Please e-mail me back.
[…] I’ve discussed many times (e.g. BCI: Brain Computer Interface), “mind reading” with EEG is a huge challenge. Another hurtle they have to overcome: […]

Really you have done a good job. The written style is very prompt and the highly practical manners. So fruitful for us. I have been reading the articles on this site for sometime. This is my first comment. Your blog has been very useful for me and it provides very good content and too informative,Thanks.
Nice information.Technology is supposed to make our lives easier and more convenient, but when said technology makes us adopt roundabout ways to do work and takes up more of our time in the process, it is worse than useless. In such cases, it becomes a white elephant that costs more than it is worth, and it’s better to do without the technology than spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on something that’s not more than a showpiece. This is exactly what’s happening with EMR systems – they’re supposed to make medical history access, updates and management as easy as pie for hospitals and other healthcare facilities; instead, they’re becoming a headache because of integration problems. This is my first comment. Your blog has been very useful for me and it provides very good content and too informative,Thanks.
