Brain-Computer Interfaces ( BCI) publishes high quality, original research articles encompassing analysis of theoretical and practical advances in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.  Articles should expand upon novel and innovative research where the methods, analysis and conclusions are robust and of the highest standard.
A BCI measures brain activity and translates it into a form that can allow machines to compensate for lost or damaged brain functions, provide supplementary or augmented functions, or entrain lasting improvements in existing functions. The Journal recognizes that the field of BCI research is highly multi-disciplinary, and strives to integrate a range of perspectives from various disciplines in order to deepen understanding of the issues, challenges and solutions in the field. Brain-Computer Interfaces will be of interest to experts within the following fields:

neuroscience
- biomedical engineering
- neurosurgery
- rehabilitation engineering
- psychology
- human factors
- computer science and engineering
- machine learning
- electrical engineering
- industrial and systems engineering
- mechanical engineering

  Brain-Computer Interfaces covers, but is not limited to, the following areas:

- development and user-centered evaluation of engineered BCI applications with emphasis on the analysis of what aspects are crucial to making the system work, in addition to straightforward assessment of its success.
- scientific investigation of patterns of brain activity that can, or show promise to be able to, be used to drive BCI applications.
- development and evaluation of signal processing methods that extract signal features, classify them, and otherwise translate brain signals into device commands.
- new invasive and noninvasive methods to monitor and acquire brain signals.
- applications of BCI technology to understand human perception, affect, action, and various aspects of cognition and behavior.
- ethical and sociological implications of BCI applications.
- human factors and human-computer interaction (HCI) concerns in the design, development and evaluation of BCIs.
- clinical trials and individual case studies of the experimental therapeutic application of BCIs.
- behavioral studies of BCI use in humans and animals.
- studies of neurosurgical techniques relevant to BCIs.
- proposal, review and analysis of standards for BCI hardware, software and protocols.
