Current and future applications of non-invasive and invasive BCIs.

Brain-computer interface technology is used for high impact medical applications: stroke rehabilitation, assessment and communication with patients with disorders of consciousness and locked-in patients, functional mapping of the eloquent cortex for neurosurgery and for neuroscience. The talk will highlight recent developments and future applications like avatar control with invasive and non-invasive BCIs.
