The purpose of BCI is to read brain waves and translate them directly into computer signals. This form of technology has varied uses, from helping people with disabilities to advanced video game control.
The video “Mysteries of the Brain” and the article “Ethical questions raised by brain-computer interfaces” show different perspectives and present contrasting arguments.
This essay will discuss why the advantages of assisting people with disabilities outweigh the ethical questions that BCI technology raises.

Uddrag
BCI technology raises some ethical questions; many of them need better supporting and come from pure fear of losing control.
Losing control of a machine or a program is not a very plausible outcome since they keep and test the technology in a safe environment.
Therefore, thoughts that users generally do not act on can never end up being executed because of the current limitations and the future restrictions, which will help the translation of signals.
Elon Musk is one of the big players in the quite new field of “BCI brain plug-in” developers. He has founded a new company, where the focus will be brain implants.
“Neuralink plans to create brain implants that improve memory” (ll. 13-14). The idea of improving memory loss could make a major difference for people with Alzheimer’s or just to improve our capabilities.
