So what is a brain computer interface, you ask?A brain-computer interface (BCI) is exactly what it sounds like, a technology that acts as a go-between for the brain and a computer. This technology has huge potential to vastly improve the quality of life of those with central nervous system damage.Yet, Audrey discovered that finding material to explain BCIs to those who didn’t work with them intimately was nearly impossible. So she decided to create a resource for non-experts to learn about the technology so they could form their own opinions instead of just believing the hype. She uses her background in bio-engineering to weave the story of how the technology came to be and all the sometimes surprising, turns it took to get to where it is today.Plugged In shares the stories of the past, present and future of BCI technology through a uniquely human lens. This book tells the story of the BCI by telling the stories of the people behind them, as well as the people who will be most affected by them in the future.
