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.
