Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the current state of neural interface technology and to compare their various modern implementations with each other, highlighting their advantages and features. The article considers the essence of the concept of "neural interface", its purpose, disassembled the structure of this technology and the principles underlying it, as well as classification according to various criteria. Examples of areas of activity in which this technology is currently used or can potentially be applied in the future are given. In addition, the most commonly used modern solutions are collected and analyzed in order to identify the most promising option in terms of functionality and convenience of everyday use. It has been established that the Emotiv Epoc neural interface has the widest functionality with comfortable everyday wear. It was also concluded that the areas of application in which solutions based on neural interfaces currently show the best results are medical diagnostics and remote control of electronic devices, as evidenced by the large number of projects involving neural interfaces in this area and a large number of articles, dedicated to them.
