In early 2000s the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) concept emerged, seeking to use brain and peripheral nerve information to benefit patients. More recently, BCI has been looking beyond the medical sector, to a broad range of applications in the industrial, military and consumer fields. A conjunction of neuroscience, advanced micro-technology and rapid adoption of wearables has led to the emergence of innovative start-up companies and a number of initiatives supported by public or private organizations. These new techniques and the associated players and market are at the core of Yole Développement’s analysis in the recent report Neurotechnologies and Brain Computer Interface.
