Abstract

Abstract:

As a cutting-edge interdisciplinary technology, brain-computer interface (BCI) has become a core track of global technological competition and industrial layout. Based on a systematic review of the global BCI industry landscape and China’s BCI development status, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of prevalent global challenges, outlines a coordinated development path covering technology, industry, application scenarios and governance, and presents feasible countermeasures and recommendations. It aims to advance the collaborative innovation, inclusive accessibility, safe and responsible development of the global BCI industry, and contribute to human health and sustainable development.

Key words: BCI, industrial landscape, global common development
