Abstract
Neurointerface or Brain–Machine Interface is a system of devices that utilizes the electrical nature of neural signals to establish communication with the nervous system. This literature survey paper tries to provide a brief overview of various methods and devices that helped reach the advancement of neural interfaces of recent times. The work focuses on collating published research in a variety of fields pertaining to neuro-mechanics, neural rehabilitation, study of neuronal activities, and development of Brain–Computer Interfaces. Previous studies have been categorized into segments describing the practices followed for detecting brainwaves, collecting and interpreting neuronal signals, stimulating brain regions for limb control, audio–visual and tactile percepts, and algorithms. Materials and actuators were used to achieve control of Man–Machine Interfaces through modulating neuronal activities. The article also discusses the current inclination toward invasive modalities and the possibility of integrating Artificial Intelligence with non-invasive technologies to move toward a new age of Brain–Computer Interfaces.
