Description
Brain-Computer Interfacing: An Introduction by Rajesh P. N. Rao The idea of connecting human minds to machines has long fascinated us. Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and engineering are making this vision a reality, opening up new possibilities for restoring and enhancing human capabilities. Medical applications such as cochlear implants and deep brain stimulation are becoming increasingly common, while brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are being explored in fields like security, gaming, education, and art. This book provides an essential introduction to the field of BCIs, covering the background knowledge needed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses. It also offers a detailed overview of the major types of BCIs, including invasive, semi-invasive, noninvasive, stimulating, and bidirectional systems. The book explores BCI applications and raises important questions about ethics, as well as providing supporting materials such as web links and exercises. Suitable for neuroscientists, computer scientists, engineers, and medical practitioners, this textbook is also suitable for self-study by those with a wide range of disciplines.
