Magnetoencephalograpy in brain-computer interfaces- current and future solutions

Abstract

Neurological disorders may cause severe disorders. Scientists and clinicians still look forward to novel technologies allowing for precise, relevant diagnosis and effective treatment. One of the most promising technologies seems be magnetoencephalography (MEG) and its possible application in diagnostics and treatment. MEG-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are regarded as another breakthrough within relatively novel but rapid developing BCI technology. This article aims at investigating the extent to which the available opportunities are being exploited including novel concepts and observations.
