Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 786))

Abstract

Brain-computer interface (BCI) enables their users to use brain signals instead of the brain’s normal peripheral nerve and muscle output paths to communicate or control external devices. Several methods can be used to obtain data from the brain sensors that basically monitor physical processes Brain computer interface technology is an emerging area of research with several applications in medical fields. In this review, we discuss the current status and future prospects of BCI technology and its applications in several fields. We will define BCI, examine BCI-related signals from the human brain, and describe the functional components of BCI. We will also review the different applications of BCI technologies in the field of medicine, in entertainment and games, safety and security and in biomedical. Finally, we will discuss the current restrictions of BCI technology, obstacles to its widespread clinical application, and expectations for the future.
