Abstract
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems can provide communication and control without any physical movement. The BCI Research Awards are annual events to select the best BCI projects that year. Groups from around the world submit projects that are scored by a jury of international experts that selects twelve nominees and three winners. We also produce books like this one that review that year’s nominees, awards ceremony, and winners. This introductory chapter briefly reviews BCIs and the 2019 awards process, including the jury, selection criteria, and nominees. We mention many chapters that might engage readers with different interests, including chapters with project descriptions or interviews with nominees. Many of the chapters here describe new approaches to BCIs that could be useful to patients and/or mainstream users. The final chapter of this book reviews the Awards Ceremony, announces the winners, and presents concluding comments.
