Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are rapidly developing into a mainstream, worldwide research endeavor. With so many new groups and projects, it can be difficult to identify the best ones. This book summarizes ten leading projects from around the world. About 60 submissions were received in 2011 for the highly competitive BCI Research Award, and an international jury selected the top ten. This Brief gives a concise but carefully illustrated and fully up-to-date description of each of these projects, together with an introduction and concluding chapter by the editors.

From the reviews:
“Brain-computer interface (BCI) research focuses on developing and analyzing direct communication between the brain and an external device. … This book details the work of the ten nominees for the 2011 BCI research award. … There is no doubt that for those with an active interest in the field of BCI research, it will prove useful for catching up with some state-of-the-art research trends.” (Harry Strange, Computing Reviews, October, 2013)
