🌍 How can brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) expand beyond high-income countries to transform global health?

A new IEEE Pulse article highlights the promise of BCIs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) - where stroke and neurological disorders cause widespread disability, yet access to care is limited.

BCIs could restore mobility, reduce stigma, and improve quality of life for millions. But barriers remain: cost, integration into health systems, cultural trust, and data privacy. Success will require humility, local partnerships, and long-term commitment to ensure equitable access.
