A “doctor” implanted in your brain

The target audiences are the public, especially the people who wants to know the current situation and future of brain-computer interface (BCI).

I have researched, argued, and written about BCI for a more academic or serious audience; therefore, I have a deep understanding of BCI. My audience is different from me in that they may know little about BCI.

I can’t use too many technical terms, which will make my audience not interested. I point out that “BCI is one of the most fascinating innovations in last 10 years”, which will indicate that BCI is a very new technology, arousing people’s interests.

I hope my “text” can arouse people’s curiosity. When they see this, the first reaction can be “wow, what is this? I want to learn more about it”.

I’m creating a poster including a picture and some words. The man in the picture is implanted with various machines. We often see that in science fiction movies: human beings use cutting-edge technology to communicate with the outside world, control and operate external devices, and store the information of external devices in the brain. I think combining with science fiction can make people more interested.

I write “A doctor implanted in your brain” in bold words to demonstrate that I want to talk about treating diseases by BCI. I ask a question about the types of BCI—the invasive and the noninvasive. Because invasive BCI can restore human sense that noninvasive BCI cannot do, invasive BCI is better than noninvasive BCI in treating diseases.

Because I have to use as few words as possible, I can provide very little information when using a poster. I hope that the poster can act as an introduction to let people consider whether they are curious about the topic. If they are curious about BCI, they can take time to read my essay, thus having a thorough understanding of BCI.
