More holiday reading! We argue that BCIs should be classified based on their intended application, and that this language is best for the public, regulators, policy makers, etc.
What is or isn't a "BCI"?
We argue in Nature BME today that if the tech stimulates or records brain activity AND does computation, it's a BCI.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
But we still need a way to discuss different types of BCI separately... 🧵
