Brain Computer Interface (ebook)

The idea of interfacing minds with computers has captured human imagination for a long time. Recent developments in neuroscience and engineering have made this concept a possibility, opening the door to restoring and potentially growing human physical and mental capabilities. Medical applications such as cochlear implants for deaf patients and deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease are becoming increasingly common. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) (also known as brain-machine interfaces or BMIs) are currently being explored in applications as diverse as defense, lie detection, alertness monitoring, telepresence, gaming, education, art, and human enhancement.
