Abstract

Brain-Neural Machine/Computer Interface (BNCI) has been used successfully as an assistive technology to restore communication, improve control and thus potentially enhance social inclusion. Recently BNCI technology and interfaces have evolved to become more usable, thereby allowing the recording of brain activity to become part of the wider self-quantification movement. A hybrid BNCI can provide a viable but alternative interface for Human Computer Interaction, which combines the inputs from BNCI and eye tracking. This hybrid approach has maintained information transfer rate but increased robustness and overall usability. The combination of two complementary technologies provides the possibility for investigating new ways of human enhancement and has the potential to open up new medical applications.
