Brain Machine Interfaces, Brain-Computer Interfaces, and Neuroprosthetics

Published 2023-03

While Elon Musk’s brain-machine interface (BMI) company Neuralink grabs all the mainstream’s attention, many other innovative research and commercial initiatives continue to accelerate the union of technology and the human brain.

Verdict

persistedThe same trend is listed again within the publisher's next two editions (D33).

Continued as ftsg-tech-trends-2024-563

Umbrella rule (same umbrella): the BMI/BCI/neuroprosthetics umbrella continues as Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neuroprosthetics (7th year on the list); BMI and BCI are synonyms.

A trend is graded on whether the publisher keeps it, never as a hit or a miss (D6, D33).

note: Appended 2026-10-02 after the existing entries (D15) by the contents audit (check_2023_contents.py, issue #26). Umbrella page: a medium-weight (sub-section) contents entry whose page carries the publisher's year tag and a WHAT IT IS block, so it counts as a trend (D40); append_umbrella_d40.py missed it. The trends under it (Neural Engineering) are separate entries.
