Brain-to-brain communication: Science fiction becomes reality
2021
Overview
ISEs involvement key to developing technology for workplace, medical uses I In the past several decades, the idea of interfacing the human brain and a computer, once only imagined in science fiction, has materialized via brain-computer interface (Brain-Computer Interfaces Handbook: Technological and Theoretical Advances, Chang S. Nam, Anton Nijholt and Fabien Lotte, 2018). A BCI (e.g., EEG-based motor-imagery BCI) reads a sender's brain activity and then sends it to an interface, e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that writes the delivered brain activity to a receiving brain. Since its proof of concept by Miguel Pais-Vieira (\"A Brain-To-Brain Interface for Real-Time Sharing of Sensorimotor Information,\" Pais-Vieira, Mikhail Lebedev, Carolina Kunicki, Jing Wang and Miguel A.L. Nicolelis, 2013), B2BI has been demonstrated in both animal models (\"Building an Organic Computing Device with Multiple Interconnected Brains,\" Miguel Pais-Vieira, Gabriela Chiuffa, Mikhail Lebedev and Miguel A.L. Nicolelis, 2013; 2015) and humans (\"A Direct Brainto-Brain Interface in Humans,\" Rajesh P. N. Rao, Andrea Stocco, Matthew Bryan, Devapratim Sarma, Tiffany M. Youngquist, Joseph Wu and Chantel S. Prat, 2014; \"Conscious Brain-ToBrain Communication in Humans Using Non-Invasive Technologies, Carles Grau, Romuald Ginhoux, Alejandro Riera, Thanh Lam Nguyen, Hubert Chauvat, Michel Berg, Julia L. Amengual, Alvaro Pascual-Leone and Giulio Ruffini, 2014) where same or different brain regions are invasively or noninvasively recorded and stimulated in many interesting applications, ranging from simply transmitting binary information (Grau et al., 2014) to creating biological neural networks (Pais-Vieira et al., 2015). Specifically, it offers potential applications in communication, specifically in patients with neurological damage (\"Ethical Issues in Neuroprosthetics,\" Walter Glannon, 2016; \"Brainto-Brain Interfaces: When Reality Meets Science Fiction,\" Nicolelis, 2014). Breakthroughs will come when the EEG headsets become easier to wear; neurostimulation technology advances - such as transductor arrays for focused ultrasonics stimulation (FUS) becoming more common, cheaper and easier to fit into a helmet; data transfer rates go up; or when we can send and receive data in the brain using one technology (\"Optimizing Computer-Brain Interface Parameters for Non-invasive Brain-to-Brain Interface,\" John LaRocco and Dong-Guk Paeng, 2020).
