Abstract in brief

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have evolved from initial experiments showing that neural signals can control robotic limbs to advanced systems capable of translating neuronal activity into movements for restoring limb mobility.
Current challenges include developing fully implantable, biocompatible devices, improving real-time data processing, and creating sensory feedback methods so the brain can perceive and control prosthetic devices naturally.
Future advancements aim to produce adaptive, prosthetic limbs that can be operated directly by brain signals and provide sensations, making them function and feel more like real human limbs.]
