Abstract
Advancements in neuroscientific research and technology have paved the way for innovative solutions in the realm of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). One of the most promising applications of BCIs is enabling communication and control for individuals with severe motor impairments or non-responsiveness. This article delves into the potential of utilizing mental imagery as a means of control and communication within the framework of BCIs. By decoding neural activity associated with imagined movements, researchers are unlocking new avenues for fostering communication and enhancing the quality of life for non-responsive individuals. Mental imagery involves simulating sensory experiences through neural activity, which closely resembles that of actual physical actions. Leveraging neuroimaging techniques, researchers have decoded these neural patterns to enable BCIs to interpret imagined movements as actionable commands. Despite challenges such as inter-individual variability and noise susceptibility, advances in signal processing and hybrid approaches are enhancing the reliability of mental imagery-based BCIs. This technology holds significant promise for facilitating communication, control, and virtual interaction for individuals who were once trapped in unresponsive states, thereby enriching their quality of life and emotional well-being.
