        abstract = {Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as a transformative technology for assistive applications, enabling direct communication between the human brain and external devices. By interpreting neurophysiological signals such as electroencephalography (EEG), BCIs bypass impaired neuromuscular pathways and provide new communication and control channels for individuals with severe motor and speech disabilities. Finally, emerging trends, interdisciplinary collaboration, and future research directions are highlighted, emphasizing the potential of BCIs to enhance independence, quality of life, and societal inclusion for individuals with disabilities.},
