5. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) “direct communication pathway between the brain and an external devise”
Use electrical brain activity (EEG)
Use machine learning algorithms
6. How BCI Works
7. EEG and Evoked Responses
8. Cortical Plasticity Neurons that fire together, wire together
Reorientation of response maps, usually adjacent
Plasticity in BCI
9. Invasive vs. Noninvasive EEG
10. Types of BCI Visual Prosthetics
