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 (source p 12, 26). First defined by Jonathan Wolpaw in the 1990s, noninvasive BCIs began gaining traction amongst the scientific community, looking to explore its potential capabilities. (source). **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.
