Description

Junhui Wang, Yakun Yuan, Hang Xu, and Guannan Luan chart the rise of brain-computer interfaces by reading both papers and patents. Their analysis was published in twenty twenty-six. These systems link brains to machines and are moving fast from labs toward clinics.

Past maps of the field used only journal articles, missing the patent record where much applied work shows up. The team gathered over eleven thousand articles and more than fifteen hundred granted patents from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty-five. They charted which journals, institutes, countries, and funders drive the work, and which topics run hot. Mapping tools traced how themes shift over time. The dual view gives a fuller picture of where this technology is heading and who leads it.
