Brain Computer Interfaces For Neuropsychiatric Disorders

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 Interface Research

The Annual BCI Research Awards are international prizes that recognize the top new projects in brain–computer interface (BCI) research. This book contains concise descriptions of projects nominated for the 2019 BCI Research Award and interviews with nominees. Each article is authored by the researchers who developed the project, and articles have been updated with new progress achieved since their nomination. These chapters are complemented by an introduction by the editors together with a concluding chapter that reviews the annual Awards Ceremony, announces the winners, and ends with a brief discussion. One of the prominent trends in recent years has been the development of BCIs for new patient groups. Many chapters in this book present emerging and novel research directions likely to become more prevalent in the near future. This year's book includes chapters based on interviews with BCI experts who were nominated for an award, including this year's first, second, and third place winners. These interview chapters are generally less technical than project descriptions, and provide individual perspectives from people actively working on new methods and systems.
