Advances in the Integration of Brain-Machine Interfaces and Robotic Devices

Concepts and Applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) emerge as new technologies bridging the gap between the human brain and digital systems, unlocking new possibilities in communication, rehabilitation, and human augmentation. By translating neural signals into usable data, BCIs enable direct interaction with computers, prosthetics, and other devices, offering transformative applications for individuals with disabilities and enhancing cognitive capabilities. From enabling paralyzed individuals to control robotic limbs to offering advanced approaches for treating neurological disorders, BCIs pave the way for a future where the mind influences and controls the digital world. As research and development advances, the concepts and applications of BCIs may redefine how we interact with technology, with insights into medicine, education, and more. Concepts and Applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces explores the positive impacts of brain-computer technology in the medical field, including preventative measures and the rehabilitation of severe brain damage. It examines how BCIs foster mutual comprehension between users and the surrounding systems, and the technological obstacles that arise when utilizing brain signals in different components. This book covers topics such as deep learning, brain modulation, and artificial intelligence, and is a useful resource for data scientists, engineers, business owners, academicians, and researchers.

Brain-Computer Interfaces

In the last 15 years, a recognizable surge in the field of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) research and development has emerged. This emergence has sprung from a variety of factors. For one, inexpensive computer hardware and software is now available and can support the complex high-speed analyses of brain activity that is essential is BCI. Another factor is the greater understanding of the central nervous system including the abundance of new information on the nature and functional correlates of brain signals and improved methods for recording these signals in both the short-term and long-term. And the third, and perhaps most significant factor, is the new recognition of the needs and abilities of people disabled by disorders such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophies. The severely disabled are now able to live for many years and even those with severely limited voluntary muscle control can now be given the most basic means of communication and control because of the recent advances in the technology, research, and applications of BCI. This book is intended to provide an introduction to and summary of essentially all major aspects of BCI research and development. Its goal is to be a comprehensive, balanced, and coordinated presentation of the field's key principles, current practice, and future prospects.
