Abstract

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 interface, and the latest research activities in the field of BCIs are presented in this paper. The concluding chapter synthesizes the capabilities of the current BCI systems and formulates some directions for future research needed to understand how BCIs could be used in medical rehabilitation applications.
