DESCRIPTION
Aim of a brain-computer interface (BCI) is to provide a communication channel for paralyzed patients to interact with the outer world. I will start with the motivation behind brain-computer interfaces followed by description of a general BCI. I will then describe various kinds of BCI experiments and methods.From the Un-Distinguished Lecture Series (http://ws.cs.ubc.ca/~udls/). The talk was given Jun. 8, 2007.

ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG)• Hans Berger (1929)
– It is out of the question that the α-w and β-w of my EEG exert any effect at a distance; they can not be transmitted through space. Upon the advice of experienced electrophysicists, I refrained from any attempt to observe possible distant effects.

Why BCI?• Patients with neuromuscular disorders
– ALS, multiple sclerosis• Solutions
– Use the capabilities of remaining pathways– Detour around the points of damage– Provide the brain with new channels for communication control
