This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the transformative field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neurotechnology. As the fusion of neuroscience, engineering, and artificial intelligence advances, this textbook guides readers through foundational principles and recent innovations that are reshaping how we understand and enhance brain-body abilities.
From non-invasive BCIs and their role in communication and motor restoration to invasive BCIs designed for individuals with locked-in syndrome and beyond, each chapter delves into cutting-edge applications, including neurofeedback therapy and treatments for neuropsychiatric conditions like ADHD and depression. Additionally, the textbook addresses the crucial ethical, legal, and societal implications, exploring concerns over mental privacy, informed consent, and the commercialization of brain data.
Intended for students, researchers, and professionals in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and related fields, this text serves as both a technical guide and an ethical roadmap to the profound future of neurotechnology.

Ujwal Chaudhary, Ph.D.
Dr. Chaudhary studied Bachelor of Technology in Biomedical Engineering; he was awarded the gold medal for scoring the highest rank. He graduated with Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Biomedical Engineering department at Florida International University, Miami, USA in 2013. He was awarded the "Outstanding doctoral degree graduate award" for his doctoral dissertation. After his graduation, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher/group leader at the University of Tubingen.
He has been working towards the development of several kinds of brain-computer interface (BCI) namely, intracortical BCI (iBCI), electroencephalogram (EEG) /Electrooculogram (EOG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) based BCIs to investigate and provide a means of communication to patients in locked-in state (LIS) and completely locked-in state (CLIS). He pushed the limit of BCIs; for the first time in history, the team enabled complete sentence formation by someone in CLIS using an iBCI.
