The term 'brain computer interface', full of sci-fi atmosphere, was first included in the government work report submitted for review on March 5th. It is listed alongside future energy, quantum technology, embodied intelligence, and 6G as one of the future industries for cultivation and development. From the government work report to the draft outline of the 15th Five Year Plan, aiming for cutting-edge exploration, brain computer interface has become a hot topic in science and technology during the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Minister Yin Hejun of the Ministry of Science and Technology stated in the first "Ministerial Channel" of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress that during the "15th Five Year Plan" period, a number of major national science and technology projects should be urgently deployed and implemented, especially in the fields of integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, brain computer interfaces, etc., to strengthen scientific and technological research and provide stronger technological support for industrial development. Pan Jiaofeng, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Strategic Consulting and Research for Science and Technology, said that brain computer interface is not a cool scientific concept, but a cutting-edge technology integrating medicine, computers, electronics, machinery, materials and other disciplines, which is a key fulcrum to move the future. In the eyes of many delegates, the level of development of brain computer interfaces is related to a country's core competitiveness in cutting-edge fields. Zheng Zhajie, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, previously interpreted the "15th Five Year Plan" proposal, stating that future industries represented by brain computer interfaces are gaining momentum, and the new scale added in the next 10 years is equivalent to rebuilding a high-tech industry in China. Brain computer interface is a business that invests in people. The breakthrough in the brain computer interface industry can be used and served by people. ”In the view of Vice President Mingdong of Tianjin University, this technology will become the "light of life" for paraplegic patients, and is also expected to provide new solutions for depression detection, stroke rehabilitation, and other areas. It is one of the fields that realizes the integrated development of education, technology, and talent. To promote the "fast running" of brain computer interfaces, the policy "toolbox" must be enriched. Since 2025, seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Innovative Development of the Brain Computer Interface Industry"; The National Medical Products Administration has approved the release of China's first standard for brain computer interface medical devices; What is the current development position of the pricing project related to brain computer interfaces newly established by the National Healthcare Security Administration? The brain computer interface industry in our country is currently in a critical growth period. ”Wang Changming, a researcher at Capital Medical University and an expert in the field of brain computer interfaces, said that China has achieved parallel or even partial leadership with the international community in the non-invasive technology path, and the gap in invasive key components is rapidly narrowing. The innovation ecosystem is becoming increasingly perfect. Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places have successively built cooperation platforms, achieving breakthroughs in open source software platforms and domestic core device research and development; The multi center clinical trial of neural critical brain computer interface has been launched, and the diagnosis time of hydrocephalus has been shortened from 2 to 3 days to 30 minutes. Industrial applications are gradually advancing. In the field of aerospace and special operations, technology is used for intelligent interaction and remote control; Empowering intelligent manufacturing and human-machine collaboration in the industrial field; In the field of daily life, how can brain computer interfaces better "connect" to the future by controlling smart homes through thoughts? The representative members believe that forging the "industry of the day after tomorrow" with "tomorrow's technology" requires a solid foundation of basic research and collaborative innovation from all parties. For example, encouraging joint research and development between enterprises and laboratories, guiding precise capital investment, and promoting the landing of technology in major strategic demand areas such as healthcare and artificial intelligence. Industrial development cannot do without talent. The deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is key. ”Han Jiecai, an academician of the CAS Member and president of Harbin Institute of Technology, proposed to bring brain and computer science into the key layout of interdisciplinary construction, guide colleges and universities to break the barriers of traditional disciplines, systematically build professional systems, and focus on training compound talents who can solve the technical problems of the whole chain. Looking towards a broader future outlook - the highly anticipated draft of the "15th Five Year Plan" clearly states that future industries such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion energy, brain computer interfaces, embodied intelligence, and sixth generation mobile communication will be the focus of forward-looking layout. In 2026, which is regarded by the industry as a crucial year for the future industry to shift from layout to landing, representatives and committee members look forward to accelerating the key leap from "bookshelf" to "shelf" in this track. On March 2nd, four departments including the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Administration for Financial Regulation jointly issued opinions to guide insurance funds to invest in the field of technological innovation and strengthen investment layout in emerging and future industries. Science fiction imagination will become reality faster, and more innovative achievements from China will benefit humanity. (New Society)
