Consumer Brain-Computer Interface: Challenges & Opportunities
Active algorithms, hybrid BCI, Scalability, Bandwith, and Future of non-invasive BCI headsets
Brain-Computer Interfaces are poised to become the next trendy consumer device. As such, most consumer electronics companies have started to integrate them into their roadmap in some way or another.
Some companies have already developed and released consumer wireless EEG-based BCI with interesting non-medical applications. Now, measuring brain activity is no longer limited to medical diagnostics but includes more applications aiming to change users’ lifestyles.
As part of a team in charge of innovation, I was involved in the development of several BCI prototypes. This article will present some of the current technical and commercial challenges of wireless BCI systems and discuss a few possible future research directions to enable wireless BCI systems to become scalable.
