Abstract

Brain computer interface (BCI) provides a direct communication channel between human brain and external devices, which is distinctive in that it does not depend on peripheral nerves or muscles. The BCI field has grown dramatically in the recent years, with research growing and expanding in the breadth of its applications. This article reviews the important research advances of BCI in 2018, mainly focusing on system applications and key technologies. New trends towards more intelligent and mobile BCIs as well as ethical risks are discussed.
