Brain computer interface (BCI) is relatively new technology aiming at assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Recent advances in bio-signal processing as well as advances in neuro-imaging techniques have boosted BCI development. The most important barrier in developing BCI technology is currently the lack of a sensor modality that provides safe, accurate and robust access to brain signals. However, recent advances in biosensor technology, signal processing and new insights into association between EEG-based measures and mental states and advances in high resolution EEG measurements have dramatically revolutionized the BCI development. The present study reviews the basic principles of BCI, recent advances and future directions of the technology.

Abstract


Brain computer interface (BCI) is relatively new technology aiming at assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Recent advances in bio-signal processing as well as advances in neuro-imaging techniques have boosted BCI development. The most important barrier in developing BCI technology is currently the lack of a sensor modality that provides safe, accurate and robust access to brain signals. However, recent advances in biosensor technology, signal processing and new insights into association between EEG-based measures and mental states and advances in high resolution EEG measurements have dramatically revolutionized the BCI development. The present study reviews the basic principles of BCI, recent advances and future directions of the technology.
