Background
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) connect a user's brain directly to a computer, enabling them to act with their mind, without using their muscles and nerves. They do so by detecting and interpreting neural activity [1]. First defined by Jonathan Wolpaw in the 1990s, noninvasive BCIs began gaining traction amongst the scientific community, looking to explore its potential capabilities. [2] After many scientists had contributed to discoveries of EEGs and electrical signals in the brain Jacques Vidal published his paper in 1973 “Toward Direct Brain-Computer Communications” which detailed the brain's ability to communicate with external devices.

Medical Devices
These types of devices are employed to assist users who have lost function, by providing them with technological alternatives. Current forms of assistive applications include BCIs that enable users to communicate via “mental typing” and auditory assistance for those with neurodegenerative diseases that affect communication. Newer possibilities for assistive BCIs include the ability to control wheelchairs or similar devices. [4]
