Reviews

"This is an excellent, first of its kind book dealing with an important, emerging topic. The editors have successfully summarized the current state of the art with regards to BCI. It is easy to see that it will be the first of many editions. All university, industry, and medical libraries need to have a copy on the shelf." -- Joseph I Sirven, MD, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Doody's
"Anyone concerned with the future of neuroscience cannot ignore the implications and applications of the story laid out by Jonathan R. Wolpaw and Elizabeth Winter Wolpaw in Brain Computer Interfaces. Principles and Practice." -- Brain
"A reference book on Brain Computer Interfaces was lacking up to now, and this excellent one is bound to be extremely useful to the researchers working in this interdisciplinary field." -- BioMedical Engineering OnLine
