BCIs may provide the best and sometimes the only communication option for users disabled by the most severe neuromuscular disorders and may eventually become useful to less severely disabled and/or healthy individuals across a wide range of applications. This review discusses the structure and functions of BCI systems, clarifies terminology and addresses practical applications. Progress and opportunities in the field are also identified and explicated.10aALS10aassistive communication10aBCI10aBMI10abrain-acuated control10abrain-computer interface10abrain-machine interface10aEEG10aERP10alocked-in syndrome10aslow cortical potential10aSSVEP10aStroke1 aAllison, Brendan, Z.1 aWolpaw, Elizabeth, Winter1 aWolpaw, Jonathan  uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17605682
