Abstract

This paper is a short introduction to a special ICMI session on brain-computer interaction. During this paper, we first discuss problems, solutions, and a five-year view for brain-computer interaction. We then talk further about unique issues with multimodal and hybrid brain-computer interfaces, which could help address many current challenges. This paper presents some potentially controversial views, which will hopefully inspire discussion about the different views on brain-computer interfacing, how to embed brain-computer interfacing in a multimodal and multi-party context, and, more generally, how to look at brain-computer interfacing from an ambient intelligence point of view.
