Cognitive Enhancement and Brain-Computer Interfaces: Potential Boundaries and Risks.

Cognitive Enhancement and Brain-Computer Interfaces: Potential Boundaries and Risks. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2020;1194:275-283 Authors: Kaimara P, Plerou A, Deliyannis I Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) systems and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are terms frequently involved in the field of neurological research. Under a technological point of view, BCI is considered to be a significant achievement within the frame of learning disabilities rehabilitation. Nevertheless, the specifications for efficient use for cognitive enhancement and its potential boundaries are under concern. Author's main objective is to discuss BCI concrete components and potential advances as well as depict potential limitations while using technological devices within the frame of the learning procedure. Within this context, requirements, advantages, possible addiction risks, and boundaries regarding the specifications for brain-computer interfaces and technology in order to serve long-term research and developmental learning goals are discussed.
