Brain-Computer Interface Research: A State-Of-The-Art Summary 12 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783031804960)

Christoph Guger is the Founder and CEO of g.tec medical engineering GmbH, a leading company in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and biosignal processing. He holds a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering, GMP and ISO 13485 certifications, and has a strong background and expertise in BCI and neurotechnology. Guger's mission is to develop and produce high-end BCI hardware and software that can record and analyze brain activity in non-invasive and invasive ways. Thereby he aims to improve the quality of life and communication of people with motor impairments, such as stroke or ALS, and to advance the scientific and practical applications of BCI in various domains, such as neurorehabilitation, neuromarketing, brain mapping, and neuroprosthetics. Guger has also contributed to multiple patents and publications in the field.

Jose Azorin is the Director of the Brain-Machine Interface Systems Lab and Full Professor of the Systems Engineering and Automation Department at Miguel Hernández University of Elche (Spain). He holds a M.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Alicante (1997, Spain) and a Ph.D. from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (Award for the Best Thesis of the Department) (2003, Spain). He has been a visiting professor at the University of Houston (USA) and at Imperial College London (United Kingdom). His current research interests are Brain-Machine Interfaces, Neuro-robotics and Rehabilitation Robotics. Over the last years, his research has been funded by prestigious grants from the European Union, other international government agencies, and Spain. He has been the PI of more than 20 research projects, and his research has resulted in more than 200 technical papers and 3 patents.

Milena Korostenskaja, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist who specializes in the clinical applications of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). This includes functional mapping for epilepsy surgery and motor rehabilitation post-stroke. She has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed publications and has given more than 90 talks at various scientific venues. Dr. Korostenskaja also teaches neuroscience-related courses to both graduate and undergraduate students, including a course on adaptive neurotechnologies and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). She is the founder of "The Institute of Neuroapproaches", where she offers career coaching and education to help people build successful careers in neuroscience and neurotechnologies. Additionally, Dr. Korostenskaja hosts the "Neurocareers: Doing the Impossible!" podcast, which aims to inspire and support people in exploring careers in neuroscience and neurotechnologies. She is also an official host of a special "BCI Award Neurocareers podcast series" featuring nominees and winners of the International BCI Award.

Brendan Allison has been active in EEG research for over 20 years, most of which involved brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. He earned his PhD in Cognitive Science in 2003 at UC San Diego, where he focused on BCIs based on visual attention (primarily P300) and imagined movement. He has since worked with several top researchers and institutes, including Prof. Wolpaw at the New York State Dept of Health, Prof. Polich at The Scripps Research Institute, and Profs. Pfurtscheller and Neuper at Graz University of Technology. He returned to his alma mater and is again with the Cognitive Science Dept. at UCSD. He is a Founding Board Member of the BCI Society and editor of the BCI Journal. Dr. Allison's recent work involves extending BCI technology to help new groups. This includes persons seeking motor rehabilitation after a stroke and persons with disorders of consciousness (DOC).
