Abstract

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are devices that can enable communication or control without movement. The BCI detects specific patterns of the user’s brain activity that reflect different messages or commands that the user wants to send, such as spelling or changing a television channel. Signal processing tools then decode this brain activity to identify the desired message or command, then send this message to an output device. BCIs are closed-loop systems, meaning that the BCI must provide the user with some information in real-time that (hopefully) reflects the intended message or command.
