ABSTRACT

The rapidly evolving field of noninvasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) is transforming wearable technology from science fiction into a powerful tool for health care, offering a surgery-free and drug-free alternative to traditional treatments. Such devices are currently being used to target conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and more through targeted neurostimulation techniques.
