Brain-computer interface
A direct interface between the brain and a computer. There are various approaches to developing brain-computer interfaces: invasive – via an electrode in the brain – as well as non-invasive – via EEG. They enable locked-in patients, for example, to communicate again. Another area of application is the control of arm or leg prostheses via peripheral nerves.

Oscillation
Oscillations occur when many neurons fire in synchronized, rhythmic patterns. These phased fluctuations in neural activity form the basis for measurable signals in the EEG. They reflect the coordinated processing of information in the brain.
