Abstract
Electroencephalography, a technique for observing the electrical activity of the brain, is the approach that holds the most promise for achieving practical BCI applications.Before becoming widely used, EEG-based BCIs will need to make a lot of scientific advancements, but more crucially, they will cause a number of social, ethical, and legal issues.Researchers reviewed current commercial brain-computer interface devices and talked about the main technological constraints and ethical issues with them.
