Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that enable people to communicate via thought alone. However, BCIs are now becoming practical tools for a wide variety of people, in many different situations. This book, written by many of the top BCI researchers and developers, reviews the latest progress in the different components of BCIs.
