Brain-machine interfaces may be non-invasive, with sensors on the head detecting brainwaves. However, the most precise functionality has been observed with sensors implanted in the brain tissue.

A brain–machine interface (BMI) is a device that translates neuronal information into commands capable of controlling external software or hardware such as a computer or robotic arm.

Brain-machine interfaces seem like pure science fiction, but they're already revolutionizing medicine -- and your smartphone might not be far behind.
