I got fairly into these years ago at the beginning of my MSc, since a research team at my Uni had cool projects about them. I gradually lost interest but I have been wondering lately if the recent advances in the Machine Learning could be capable of significantly improving the quality of some BHI application: I am happy to get pointers on papers/research labs to check out!

From what I understand, the main problem is getting the signal form individual neurons, and getting a large number of those distinct signals. I don't think there are any non-invasive methods to do that, and no one wants to do a brain surgery on a healthy brain to implant a large electrode array.
