Abstract :
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use signals recorded from the brain to operate robotic or prosthetic devices. Both invasive and noninvasive approaches have proven effective. Achieving the speed, accuracy, and reliability necessary for real-world applications remains the major challenge for BCI-based robotic control.
