# BCI hardware device
**Entity class:** Technology, method, or technical system
**Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]]
## Definition
**BCI hardware device** is a technology, method, or technical system. BCI hardware device is associated with decoding models based on host interaction context. Explicit Apple example. The entry centers on the technology's mechanism, implementation, applications, and technical lineage, keeping demonstrated capability separate from projected deployment.
