Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a fast-growing emergent technology in which researchers aim to build a direct channel between the human brain and the computer. It is a collaboration in which a brain accepts and controls a mechanical device as a natural part of its representation of the body. The BCI can lead to many applications especially for disabled persons. Most of these applications are ...

Technologies of the current era provide the ability to interface and communicate directly from one human brain to another. This can be done by using Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Brain to Brain Interfaces (BBIs), EEG (electroencephalograph) and the Internet. Computer commands are generated using the brain-to-computer interface (BCI) and these commands are translated to generate brain...

The study presented explores the extent to which tactile stimuli delivered to the ten digits of a BCI-naive subject can serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI) that could be used in an interactive application such as robotic vehicle operation. The ten fingertips are used to evoke somatosensory brain responses, thus defining a tactile brain computer interface (tBCI). Experimenta...

This chapter presents results of our project, which studied whether contactless and airborne ultrasonic tactile display (AUTD) stimuli delivered to a user’s palms could serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI) paradigm. We used six palm positions to evoke combined somatosensory brain responses to implement a novel contactless tactile BCI. This achievement was awarded the top pri...

This paper summarizes two novel ways to extend brain–computer interface (BCI) systems. One way involves hybrid BCIs. A hybrid BCI is a system that combines a BCI with another device to help people send information. Different types of hybrid BCIs are discussed, along with challenges and issues. BCIs are also being extended through intelligent systems. Software that allows high-level control, inc...

Non-invasive steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems offer high bandwidth compared to other BCI types and require only minimal calibration and training. Virtual reality (VR) has been already validated as effective, safe, affordable and motivating feedback modality for BCI experiments. Augmented reality (AR) enhances the physical world by superim...

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a device that enables severely disabled people to communicate and interact with their environments using their brain waves. Most research investigating BCI in humans have used scalp-recorded electroencephalography (EEG). We have recently demonstrated that signals from intracranial electrocorticography (ECoG) and stereotactic depth electrodes (SDE) in the hipp...

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems have gained great visibility in the last years for the possibility they give to severly disabled people to have a normal interaction with the external environment. However every group implements its own BCI system and this leads to a lack of a common language concerning methods, names of BCI components, file formats, tools etc..., with an obvious difficult...

Brain Computer Interface is a technique which allows people to interact with machines independent of muscles. Brain Computer Interface record the electrical signals from the brain and convert the recorded signals into corresponding control signals with the help of specialized computer. The main purpose of Brain Computer Interface is to enable the paralyzed people to communicate with their envir...
