Brain-Computer Interfaces
During the last decades, a new capability has emerged by which the human brain can directly communicate with the environment, called a brain-computer interface (BCI). As a communication and control system that does not depend on the brain’s normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles, BCIs are known for providing alternate methods to interact with the outside world not only for healthy people, but also for patients who cannot use their muscles but are cognitively intact. Despite advances in BCI technology and a considerable amount of ongoing research, current efforts in the area of BCI research and development still have significant gaps from human factors and ergonomics (HFE) perspectives.
