Abstract

BCI, or brain-computer interfaces, is a kind of technology that connects the human brain with electrodes that can transfer the electronic signals to a computer and then use the computer to complete various tasks. It is widely used and has shown great potential in many fields due to its features. The technology itself, however, has several risks that are associated with it. Therefore, this essay aims to discuss the extent to which Brain Computer Interfaces is a risk factor for patients either physically or mentally in society by evaluating the past literature, and the further complications and ethical problems are discussed. This paper finds that, despite some of the social problems and ethical problems, the main risks associated with Brain Computer Interfaces is mainly physical. When social and mental problems are taken into account, the effects of clinical problems seem to be more important in the near future.
