Neural Control(also: Neural Interface, Neural Signal Input)
A method of computer interaction where users modulate their brain signals, detected through electroencephalography (EEG) or other neural monitoring technologies, to generate input commands. Neural control users can typically produce a small number of distinct signals by…
Neural Prosthetics(also: Neuroprosthetics, Neural Prostheses)
Devices that interface directly with the nervous system to restore or supplement lost sensory, motor, or cognitive functions. Neural prosthetics can be input devices (reading neural signals to control external equipment, as in brain-computer interfaces) or output devices…
Neurotrophic Electrode(also: Neurotrophic Brain Electrode, Cone Electrode)
A type of implantable brain electrode designed for long-term, stable recording of neural signals. Unlike conventional electrodes that sit on the brain surface or are inserted as rigid probes, a neurotrophic electrode consists of a hollow glass cone coated with neurotrophic…
Nontraditional Assistive Technologies(also: NTATs, Nontraditional Input Technologies)
Input technologies that use physiological signals rather than physical movement to control computers, providing access for people who cannot use traditional devices like keyboards, mice, or even eye-tracking systems. NTATs include brain-computer interfaces (using EEG or fNIR),…
