It was only 40 years ago that the first PC appeared. Over this period, rather short in historical terms, we have witnessed the revolutionary changes in lives of individuals and the entire society. Computer technologies are tightly connected with any field, either directly or indirectly. We can currently claim that computers are manifold superior to a human mind in terms of a number of parameters; however, machines lack the key feature: they are incapable of independent thinking (like a human). However, the key to successful development of humankind is collaboration between the brain and the computer rather than competition. Such collaboration when a computer broadens, supplements, or replaces some brain functions is known as the brain-computer interface. Our review focuses on real-life implementation of this collaboration.
仅仅在40年前，第一台个人电脑才出现。在这段从历史角度来看相当短的时期内，我们见证了个人生活和整个社会的革命性变化。计算机技术与任何领域都紧密相连，或直接或间接。目前我们可以宣称，在许多参数方面，计算机比人类思维具有多方面的优越性；然而，机器缺乏关键特性：它们无法像人类一样独立思考。然而，人类成功发展的关键在于大脑与计算机的协作而非竞争。当计算机扩展、补充或取代某些大脑功能时，这种协作就被称为脑机接口。我们的综述聚焦于这种协作在现实生活中的实现。
