Abstract

Brain–computer interfaces have been improved dramatically over recent years and many new applications have been developed. This chapter describes some of the most important and interesting systems and concepts that are already available on the market or that will come to market soon: spelling, gaming, painting, avatar control, stroke rehabilitation, and functional mapping. With technology improvements, the real-time analysis of brain functions will allow many new applications in the coming years.
