Abstract:
The multidisciplinary nature of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) technologies demands scientists
and researchers in the area to develop a homogeneous framework and classification of the existent BCI
technologies in order to identify, facilitate and accelerate the natural incorporation of the state-of-the-art
techniques from the different areas of knowledge. The researchers firstly discuss an extensive literature review
and classification of BCI technologies based on Wolpaw's architecture. As the number of disabled people
grows it is vital that researchers develop devices that assist in making the everyday life of such people more
bearable, However when developing technologically advanced human computer interfaces researchers have
often ignored the importance of the look and feel of the device. In this paper the researchers assess the
importance of the Theory of Social Weight when considering developing aframeworkfor developing new BCIs.
