Brain-computer interfaces: technology overview and modern solutions

Modern Electrophysiological Methods for Brain-Computer Interfaces

Modern electrophysiological studies in animals show that the spectrum of neural oscillations encoding relevant information is broader than previously thought and that many diverse areas are engaged for very simple tasks. However, EEG-based brain-computer interfaces (BCI) still employ as control modality relatively slow brain rhythms or features derived from preselected frequencies and scalp loc...

An Overview of Brain Computer Interfaces

This paper presents an overview of the research and development of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs), focused mainly on the software component. A classification of BCIs is proposed, providing a general sense of the various ways one can approach such systems. The different types of BCI systems are the main focus of the paper, and related research and development efforts are explored. The proposed...

Brain–Computer Interfaces: The New Landscape in Assistive Technology

A brain–computer interface (BCI) provides a direct connection between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or any other system capable of receiving a signal. In June 1999, the First International Meeting on Brain–Computer Interface Technology took place at the Rensselaerville Institute (Albany, NY). The aims of this first meeting, which 50 researchers from 22 different research ...

Brain-Computer Interfaces and Human-Computer Interaction

Advances in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies have started to provide us with the ability to interface directly with the human brain. This ability is made possible through the use of sensors that can monitor some of the physical processes that occur within the brain that correspond with certain forms of thought. Researchers have used these technologies to build brain-compute...
