Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Brain Interface (BI) technologies have evolved significantly.
  • A systematic review of early BI designs is crucial for understanding technological progression.
  • Existing literature lacks a comprehensive framework for comparing diverse BI designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct the first comprehensive survey of Brain Interface (BI) technology designs published before January 2006.
  • To address key research questions regarding BI technology comparability, design variety, application scope, research opportunities, and reporting quality.
  • To establish a historical cross-reference for BI technology designers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Brain Interface Design Framework by Mason and Birch for survey methodology.

  • Performed a detailed analysis of pre-2006 BI technology publications.
  • Categorized and analyzed BI designs based on attributes such as comparability, existence, application areas, and reporting standards.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the feasibility and informativeness of meta-analysis for high-level BI design attributes.
    • Identified comparable BI technologies and cataloged existing technology designs.
    • Highlighted targeted application areas (users, activities, environments) and areas with limited research, indicating opportunities for new BI technologies.
    • Assessed the quality of design reporting in the surveyed literature.

    Conclusions:

    • Meta-analysis of BI design attributes is a viable and informative approach.
    • The survey provides a valuable historical overview and cross-reference for BI technology development.
    • Identified research gaps suggest potential avenues for future Brain Interface technology innovation.
