Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) have evolved from niche scientific experiments to a rapidly growing field with real-world applications. While research publications increased 74x from 1979 to 2020, what’s truly remarkable is the shift toward non-invasive technologies like EEG, which now make up over 60% of recent studies. This focus is driving innovations that are not only groundbreaking but also more accessible for everyday use. The global BCI market, currently valued at $1.9 billion, is on track to surpass $5.3 billion by 2030, with healthcare leading the charge. Beyond neurorehabilitation and brain-controlled prosthetics, unexpected applications like emotion recognition and mental health therapies are emerging. The integration of AI has supercharged BCI capabilities, improving signal decoding accuracy by 85%, enabling precise control of robotics, and paving the way for brain-controlled smart devices. Yet, this sector remains a vast frontier with countless opportunities waiting to be explored.
