The BCI technology has long been known as a technology that could transform our modern world entirely. Despite most of the BCI today being invasive, non-invasive BCI are also developing toward its real world implementation. Compared with the traditional ones, non-invasive BCI has provided us with different approaches, making BCI practical and accessible to a broader range of customers. It could empower the individual with disabilities like strokes or neurodegenerative diseases to interact with their environment without doing open-brain surgery. These BCIs could also be customized and provide a treatment that focuses the attention of the patient. Nevertheless, BCI is still faced with several challenges, such as improvement in its accuracy and efficiency. Yet the future is prosperous, Combined with higher levels of computing analysis via artificial intelligence, BCI can achieve furthermore or human could also integrate this technology within their daily life. However, preceding its application, The importance of its infinite potential regarding the danger that could undermine its benefit should be noticed. Despite its drawback concerning ethnic issues, BCI still holds unlimited potential and will continue to reshape the world today, and beyond.
