We have come to know that our ability to survive and grow as a nation to a very large degree depends upon our scientific progress. Moreover, it is not enough simply to keep 1 abreast of the rest of the world in scientific matters. We must maintain our leadership. President Harry Truman spoke those words in 1950, in the aftermath of World War II and in the midst of the Cold War. Indeed, the scientific and engineering leadership of the United States and its allies in the twentieth century played key roles in the successful outcomes of both World War II and the Cold War, sparing the world the twin horrors of fascism and totalitarian communism, and fueling the economic prosperity that followed. Today, as the United States and its allies once again find themselves at war, President Truman's words ring as true as they did a half-century ago. The goal set out in the Truman Administration of maintaining leadership in science has remained the policy of the U. S. Government to this day: Dr. John Marburger, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President, made remarks to that effect during his 2 confirmation hearings in October 2001. The United States needs metrics for measuring its success in meeting this goal of maintaining leadership in science and technology. That is one of the reasons that the National Science Foundation (NSF) and many other agencies of the U. S.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"Brain-Computer Interfaces is an interesting and unique book ... . The authors attempt not only to review the most important aspects of BCIs but also discuss future trends in BCIs and give an overview of the research of many leading laboratories in North America, Europe, Japan, and China. ... Overall, this easy-to-follow book is written in a concise and reader-friendly style. I recommend this book to all researchers and students who have an interest in research related to BCIs." (Andrzej Cichocki, The Lancet, Vol. 8, September, 2009)
