Abstract
Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is an emerging and swiftly expanding advanced technology. It links the brain to external devices, creates a brain-computer interface connection pathway, and ultimately realises information exchange and control. Meanwhile, as modern medicine continues to explore the composition and operation of the brain, the clinical applications of BCI have become more widespread. In particular, in the diagnosis, screening, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological diseases and motor impairments, BCI is becoming more and more significant. This paper first explains the implementation and present state of BCI and provides a systematic evaluation of invasive BCIs, including the concepts of current invasive treatment techniques. The paper then review the current clinical applications of invasive BCIs technology, discuss its technical applications and benefits through case studies, and provide a comprehensive assessment of its risks. The prospects of invasive BCIs and their growing trend in the medical field are also reviewed.
