Here are some common terms and acronyms. Clicking on any of them provides more information. Our team at Future BNCI also edited the definition of BCIs on Wikipedia, and created the Wikipedia definition of BNCIs. That is one source of additional information. Please also see other parts of this web page for more information. For example, tabs under "About BCI" have more information about different BCI related terms (such as P300, SSVEP, ERD, dependent, synchronous). The roadmap under "Roadmap" includes a glossary.
