Brain–Computer Interfaces: A Review
📜 Abstract
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of brain–computer interfaces (BCI), an area in which research and development are moving fast. BCIs are systems that provide communication opportunities for people with severe motor disabilities or that can be used to augment human-technology interaction. The paper summarizes the major learning paradigms and training strategies for BCIs, as well as the main application areas.
✨ Summary
The paper “Brain–Computer Interfaces: A Review” provides an overview of the then-current state of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), highlighting advancements in research and its applications for individuals with severe motor disabilities. The authors detail various learning paradigms and training strategies employed in BCI development, as well as outlining key application areas such as augmenting human-technology interaction. According to a Google Scholar search, this paper has been cited by numerous subsequent studies in the BCI field, influencing both academic research and the development of practical BCI applications (e.g., Wolpaw, J. R., & Wolpaw, E. W. (2012). Brain-computer interfaces: principles and practice, and Lebedev, M. A., & Nicolelis, M. A. (2006). Brain–machine interfaces: past, present and future. Trends in Neurosciences). These references suggest that this review has significantly contributed to standardizing and advancing the understanding of BCI technologies.
