Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) vary in safety. Non-invasive types (e.g., EEG-based) are generally safe with minimal risks. Invasive BCIs, like Neuralink's implants, carry surgical risks including infection, bleeding, wire migration, and tissue rejection.Early human trials (e.g., Neuralink, Paradromics) show promising functionality but ongoing concerns about long-term biocompatibility and cybersecurity.Overall, BCIs are not fully safe yet—benefits for paralysis patients may outweigh risks under FDA oversight, but more data is needed.Sources: FDA Guidance on Implanted BCIs (fda.gov), GAO Report on BCI Risks (gao.gov), Neuralink Trial Updates (neuralink.com).
