Details	Recently, brain-machine interfaces (BMI) or brain-computer interfaces (BCI), which enable the control of external devices using brain signals, have been developed. BMI devices are expected to be used to support people with disabilities in the social welfare field. However, the benefits, possibilities, and risks of BMI for people with disabilities have not been sufficiently recognised, because BMI devices are not practically integrated into daily life. This study examines the expected benefits and social risks of BMI use for people with disabilities, based on the results of our surveys using a non-invasive wearable BMI device to operate a robotic arm and semi-structured interviews with people with disabilities.
