Direct brain communication has attracted a growing interest amongst the community of neurological research and practice. Experts in the field have advanced both knowledge and understanding of the human brain’s sensory processes and its functional interconnections. They capitalised on the outcomes of experimental research in the area of brain-computer-interface (BCI) and developed potential solutions to achieve effective direct brain-to- brain (B2B) communication. The increased knowledge, understanding and development of CBI has led to the development and application of providing individuals who cannot move part or the whole body, with higher levels of autonomy through thought-controlled devices, to improve their social lives.
An improved comprehension how generated brain data could be analysed and evaluated (brain informatics) pioneered new approaches to advance direct B2B communication. The brain’s plasticity will play an important role to achieve this goal. The creation of an artificial cortex has the potential to enhance brainpower, which could lead to elevated performance levels in brain communication capabilities. Research-based confirmation that the brain accepts both biological and virtual origins has been a major breakthrough in the development of producing workable solutions in B2B communication.
The outcome of this research suggests that ethical concerns and privacy issues need to be addressed in more depth. More focus needs to be on moral conduct, informed consent and the assessment of legal issues commensurate with further investigative and development work in the area of brain communication.
