- Invasive: Microelectrode arrays implanted in brain tissue
- Semi-invasive: Electrodes on brain surface (ECoG)
- Non-invasive: EEG-based systems
This section lists all BCI companies in the NeuroWiki database.
- Motor restoration: Controlling prosthetics, computers — relevant for ALS, Parkinson's disease, and stroke
- Vision: Artificial vision for blind patients — research for retinitis pigmentosa and optic nerve disorders
- Communication: Speech synthesis for locked-in patients — primarily ALS and locked-in syndrome
- Cognitive enhancement: Memory, attention — emerging applications for Alzheimer's disease and MCI
