China News Service, Guangzhou, March 30 (Reporter Cai Minjie) As the core cutting-edge technology that connects the brain and external devices, brain-computer interface is breaking the communication barriers between humans and machines, opening up new paths for the rehabilitation treatment of neurological diseases such as stroke, ALS, and spinal cord injury, and becoming an innovation hotspot in the field of medical technology.
The 10th Guangzhou International High-end Medical Equipment Exhibition (High-end Medical Equipment Exhibition) kicked off in Guangzhou on the 30th. With its broad application prospects in medical rehabilitation, disability assistance and elderly care, the brain-computer interface industry has become the focus of the exhibition. Many companies presented their non-invasive brain-computer interface core technologies and products.
By wearing a headband to collect brain waves, the core algorithm is used to analyze the user's intentions, enabling functions such as wheelchair operation without manual control. This technology can be widely used in medical, education, scientific research and other scenarios.
In response to the signal accuracy, stability and power consumption issues of non-invasive brain-computer interface technology that the industry is concerned about, Chen Yan, co-founder and general manager of Lizhi Intelligent Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., said that the current core challenge lies in the insufficient accumulation of EEG data in scenarios, and more clinical and home application data are needed to support algorithm optimization. "AI large models are the key to technology upgrades and can help build clinical standardization paths. Combined with on-site data collection, they can provide support for the application of non-invasive brain-computer interface scenarios and the consistency verification of efficacy."
Talking about the future layout, Chen Yan believes that brain-computer interfaces will move from hospitals to health management and home scenarios, not only serving patients with brain diseases, but also covering sub-healthy groups such as mood and sleep problems, and expanding to education, industry and other fields. "In the future, brain-computer interfaces will be integrated with humanoid robots and other technologies to realize the interconnection of all things through brain control. This era is accelerating."
According to He Guanfeng, head of the South China Brain Control Marketing Department, brain-computer interfaces have been applied in psychology and mental health, but in fields such as psychosurgery and neurology, it is still necessary to continue to deepen scientific research cooperation with medical institutions to further expand and deepen application scenarios.
From the perspective of global competitiveness, He Guanfeng believes that China's non-invasive brain-computer interface technology is at the leading level. The core advantage lies in the massive training data provided by its huge population base, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the model and the breadth of application scenarios. At the same time, with the support of national and local policies, companies can connect with more medical resources and accelerate technological breakthroughs and industrial implementation.
Since 2025, the development of brain-computer interfaces in China has accelerated significantly, and many types of technologies have entered the application verification stage with impressive results. Although the industry is in the ascendant, industry experts believe that the current brain-computer interface still faces many challenges in terms of scientific principles, technology, ethics and other aspects. With the deep integration of AI large models and big data technology, brain-computer interfaces will further improve recognition accuracy and interaction fluency, and promote the development of medical and health care toward precision, intelligence, and personalization.
