Abstract
As society progresses and science and technology develop, brain-computer interface has made eye-catching achievements. Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that realizes information exchange and response by establishing a direct connection between the brain and external devices. Brain-computer interface is one of the main research directions of human-computer interaction, which has great development potential and wide application in the future. However, the risks and challenges beckoned by it, on the other hand, cannot be ignored. It is of great significance to analyze its application and risk and at the same time to develop the solutions. Based on the existing literature, this paper summarized the working principle of the brain-computer interface, combed its application in various modern fields, and explained the current challenges it faces, hoping to provide certain references for the further development of the technology. Pursuant to relevant studies, it was found that the brain-computer interface has wide application prospects in medical treatment, the economy, people's livelihood, education, and the military, and currently, the main challenges cover inaccurate transmission, low safety factors, obvious ethical problems, and privacy disclosure risk.
