Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are bidirectional systems that interact with the brain, allowing neuronal stimulation as well as the acquisition of neural data. Being invasive interfaces extensively used in medical therapy, BCIs can be classified according to their invasiveness level. In this sense and as an example, invasive BCIs focused on neural recording have been used to control prosthetic limbs in impaired patients, while BCIs for neuromodulation have been helpful for treating neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease.
