With reference to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) consider the following statements:1.BCIs are designed to enable individuals to interact with and control these external devices using only their brain activity, bypassing traditional routes such as muscle movements or physical inputs.2.It is a type of virtual reality headset that lets users experience immersive digital environments by connecting their thoughts to computer-generated simulations.3.BCIs can empower individuals with paralysis or motor disabilities to regain communication and control over their environment.Which of the statements given above are correct?

Q. With reference to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) consider the following statements:
1.BCIs are designed to enable individuals to interact with and control these external devices using only their brain activity, bypassing traditional routes such as muscle movements or physical inputs.
2.It is a type of virtual reality headset that lets users experience immersive digital environments by connecting their thoughts to computer-generated simulations.

[A] 1 and 2 only

[B] 2 and 3 only

[C] 1 and 3 only

[D] 1, 2 and 3

Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation –

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. BCIs are designed to enable individuals to interact with and control these external devices using only their brain activity, bypassing traditional routes such as muscle movements or physical inputs. BCIs can empower individuals with paralysis or motor disabilities to regain communication and control over their environment.

Statement 2 is incorrect. A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), also known as a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI), is a technology that establishes a direct communication pathway between the human brain and external devices or computers.
