Neuralink: A Complicated BCI with Ethical Challenges

Introduction Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that enable direct communication between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or a robotic limb. BCIs have the potential to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, such as paralysis, blindness, or deafness, by restoring or augmenting their sensory or motor functions. BCIs…
