Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) allow people to interact with the environment for either communicating or controlling external devices without using the natural pathways of nerves and muscles. By inducing endogenously or exogenously recognizable brain states, a user intention can be deduced by a special machine that can then drive an external peripheral.
