Toward smarter BCIs

چکیده
This paper summarizes two novel ways to extend brain–computer interface (BCI) systems. One way involves hybrid BCIs. A hybrid BCI is a system that combines a BCI with another device to help people send information. Different types of hybrid BCIs are discussed, along with challenges and issues. BCIs are also being extended through intelligent systems. Software that allows high-level control, incorporates context and the environment and/or uses virtual reality can substantially improve BCI systems. Throughout the paper, we critically address the real benefits of these improvements relative to existing technology and practices. We also present new challenges that are likely to emerge as these novel BCI directions become more widespread.

Qualitative assessment of patients’ attitudes and expectations toward BCIs and implications for future technology development
Brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs) are important for the next generation of neuro-prosthesis innovations. Only few pilot projects have tested patients' abilities to control BCIs as well as their satisfaction with the offered technologies. On the one hand, little is known about patients' moral attitudes toward the benefit-risk-ratio of BCIs as well as their needs, priorities, and expectations. On ...

Background: Cognitive insight is a complex and multidimentional concept. The clinical measurements of insight have focused primarily on patients’ unawareness of their having a mental disorder and of their need for treatment. Modern approaches have focused on some of the cognitive processes involved in patients’re-evaluation of their anomalous experiences and of their specific misinterpretations...
متن کاملToward a model of cognitive insight in first-episode psychosis: verbal memory and hippocampal structure.
Our previous work has linked verbal learning and memory with cognitive insight, but not clinical insight, in individuals with a first-episode psychosis (FEP). The current study reassessed the neurocognitive basis of cognitive and clinical insight and explored their neural basis in 61 FEP patients. Cognitive insight was measured with the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS) and clinical insight w...
