Revolutionary brain-to-brain technology boosts brain-computer interface performance - EurekAlert


A groundbreaking study from Tsinghua University in collaboration with Imperial College London has unveiled a novel technique that significantly enhances brain-computer interface (BCI) systems by integrating brain-to-brain interactions among users. This innovative approach, detailed in a new study published in the journal Cyborg Bionic Systems, demonstrates the potential for improved BCI performance in applications such as rehabilitation and multitasking devices. The research, led by Dr. Tianyu Jia and a team of interdisciplinary scientists, explored the effects of social interactions, such as eye and hand contact, on BCI performance during motor imagery tasks—mental simulations of movement without physical execution. The study involved groups of friends and strangers to determine the influence of familiar social connections on neural synchronization and BCI efficiency.
