EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

  Special Issue on
  Trends in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI), an emerging domain in the
field of man-machine interaction, have attracted increasing
attention in the last few years. Among reasons one may cite
the expansion of neurosciences, the development of powerful
information processing and machine learning techniques and,
last but not least, the mere fascination exerted by a direct
control of human intellect upon the material world.

The goal of this special issue is to present a broad overview
of state-of-the-art approaches to brain-computer
communication with emphasis on signal processing issues.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o EEG-based BCI systems
 o Cortical activity-based BCI systems
 o BCI systems based on MEG, fMRI, etc.
 o Preprocessing and feature extraction techniques for BCI
   systems
 o Neural activity processing
 o Protocols and evaluation methodologies for BCI systems
 o Machine learning applied to BCI systems
 o Applications of BCI systems in rehabilitation,
   entertainment, robotics, etc.
