Brain-Computer Interfaces in Visualized Medicine

Abstract

The brain-computer interface (BCI), also known as a brain-machine interface (BMI), has attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications. More importantly, BCI technologies have substantially revolutionized early predictions, diagnostic techniques, and rehabilitation strategies addressing acute diseases because of BCI's innovations and clinical translations. Therefore, in this chapter, a comprehensive description of the basic concepts of BCI will be exhibited, and various visualization techniques employed in BCI's medical applications will be discussed.

Keywords: Brain-computer interface (BCI); Electroencephalogram (EEG); Electromagnetic physiological signals; Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS); Intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG); Metabolic signals; Motor; Speech; Visualization.
