Most clinical studies that apply and test brain-machine interfaces are focusing on restoration of movement or communication. Besides these important fields, also other applications are now increasingly tested, e.g. in the context of neuropsychiatric disorders, e.g. in depression, autism or Alzheimer’s disease.
