Abstract In this work we present the first comprehensive survey of Brain Interface(BI) technology designs published prior to January 2006. Detailed results from this survey, whichwas based on the Brain Interface Design Framework proposed by Mason and Birch, are presented anddiscussed to address the following research questions: (1) which BI technologies are directlycomparable, (2) what technology designs exist, (3) which application areas (users, activities andenvironments) have been targeted in these designs, (4) which design approaches have received littleor no research and are possible opportunities for new technology, and (5) how well are designsreported. The results of this work demonstrate that meta-analysis of high-level BI design attributesis possible and informative. The survey also produced a valuable, historical cross-reference whereBI technology designers can identify what types of technology have been proposed and by whom.
