# Brain-Reading / Neuroinformatics

Decoding neural signals to infer mental states and enable brain-computer interfaces
- Technology Readiness Level: 5/9
- Impact: 5/5
- Investment: 5/5
Brain-reading and neuroinformatics decode neural activity (fMRI, EEG, intracortical) to infer mental states, intentions, or content. Research; applications include BCI, cognitive enhancement, and brain-state monitoring. Privacy and agency concerns are significant.
