Brain-Computer Interfaces: Beyond Medical Applications

Brain Computer Interfaces for Medical Applications

Developing neuroprostheses and advanced communication systems for patients with disabilities has involved considerable scientific and technological efforts. Many recent projects developed software and hardware based on BCIs for such patients. Principles of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI), technologies used for this type of interfaces and the latest research activities in the field of BCIs are p...

Evolution of brain-computer interfaces: going beyond classic motor physiology.

The notion that a computer can decode brain signals to infer the intentions of a human and then enact those intentions directly through a machine is becoming a realistic technical possibility. These types of devices are known as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The evolution of these neuroprosthetic technologies could have significant implications for patients with motor disabilities by enhanc...

Metabolic Brain-Computer Interfaces

Multimodal Brain-Computer Interfaces

A critical parameter of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is the number of dimensions a user can control independently. One way to increment this number without increasing the mental effort required to operate the system is to stimulate several sensory modalities simultaneously, and to distinguish brain activity patterns when the user focuses attention to different elements of this multisensory ...

Brain-computer interfaces.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are systems that give their users communication and control capabilities that do not depend on muscles. The user's intentions are determined from activity recorded by electrodes on the scalp, on the cortical surface, or within the brain. BCIs can enable people who are paralyzed by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), brainstem stroke, or other disorders to conve...
