The Neuroscience of a Brain Computer Interface: Cognitive Intuition and Analysis

Abstract

A BCI is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. The utilization of BCIs consists of assisting, augmenting or repairing humancognitive or sensory-motor functions. The operation of BCIs consists of recording the electrical activity along the scalp via various synchronous activity includingelectroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electronystagmography (ENG). BCIs create a new non-muscular channel that is used to relay the intentions of an individual to external devices such as a computer, speech synthesizer, assistive appliance or neural prostheses. The use of BCIs is appealing for individuals with severe motor disabilities by partially or fully restoring functionality of a bodily member.
