# Full-Bandwidth Brain-Computer Interface
**Entity class:** Neurotechnology horizon
**Domain:** Brain-computer interfaces / Human-computer interaction
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
A full-bandwidth brain-computer interface is a proposed system capable of reading and writing a sufficiently rich range of neural signals to support fluid, high-dimensional interaction.
## Mechanism and significance
It remains a horizon concept beyond current interfaces; progress requires improvements in spatial coverage, temporal precision, biocompatibility, decoding, stimulation, and long-term stability.

## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts
> Functional MRI has hard spatial and temporal limits, but it is already supporting vision, language, and dream decoding. Reaching full-dive virtual reality and full-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces will require much higher precision, yet every frontier begins with primitive systems—and Brain-IT, Jack Gallant, and Jean-Rémi King are part of that beginning.
