Brain-Computer Integration

Brain-computer interfaces are becoming increasingly popular in both commercial and research contexts, yet their diversity and impact in application have been relatively limited. This thesis introduces Brain-Computer Integration – a framework that guides researchers and practitioners in designing, evaluating, and describing novel brain-computer interfaces where the system and the user’s brain become tightly coupled through synergizing each other’s processes as an integrated whole. Through this framework, this thesis presents guidance for human-computer interaction in unlocking the potential of this emerging technology and deploying it to foster human flourishing through enabling deep self-reflection; enhancing cognition; and extending the mind beyond the individual.
