Abstract

This chapter focuses on what is happening now in the field of BCI development and on the perspectives for the foreseeable future. We will cover the promising new technologies which will lead to a drastic change in our way to provide solutions to human neurological problems. The current barriers to success will be analyzed in a perspective of finding clues to tackle them. Ongoing initiatives, at a scientific, technical, and development level, will be surveyed. Potential near-term projects in BCI applications will be described. This will allow us to anticipate future development trends.
