Brain Computer Interface: Interface (MMI), or Sometimes Called A Direct Neural Interface or

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide a direct communication pathway between the brain and external devices to assist, augment, or repair human cognitive and sensory-motor functions. BCIs can use noninvasive or invasive methods to record brain signals conveying user commands. This document discusses a study showing that a noninvasive BCI using scalp-recorded electroencephalography and an adaptive algorithm can provide multidimensional point-to-point movement control comparable to invasive BCIs, allowing people with severe motor disabilities to control a robotic arm or neuroprosthesis without brain implantation.

Brain Computer Interface

A braincomputer interface (BCI), often called a mind-machine interface (MMI), or sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brainmachine interface (BMI), is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. BCIs are often directed at assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide communication and control to people who are totally paralyzed. BCIs can use noninvasive or invasive methods for recording the brain signals that convey the user's commands. Whereas noninvasive BCIs are already in use for simple applications, it has been widely assumed that only invasive BCIs, which use electrodes implanted in the brain, can provide multidimensional movement control of a robotic arm or a neuroprosthesis. We now show that a noninvasive BCI that uses scalp-recorded electroencephalographic activity and an adaptive algorithm can provide humans, including people with spinal cord injuries, with multidimensional point-to-point movement control that falls within the range of that reported with invasive methods in monkeys. In movement time, precision, and accuracy, the results are comparable to those with invasive BCIs. The adaptive algorithm used in this noninvasive BCI identifies and focuses on the electroencephalographic features that the person is best able to control and encourages further improvement in that control. The results suggest that people with severe motor disabilities could use brain signals to operate a robotic arm or a neuroprosthesis without needing to have electrodes implanted in their brains.
