This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the science and practice of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, computer science, and human–computer interaction. Its primary purpose is to equip readers with the conceptual foundations and methodological tools needed to understand how BCIs work, how they are designed, and how they are applied in research, clinical, and emerging real-world contexts. The scope of the book spans the full BCI pipeline, with equal emphasis on technical rigor and practical relevance. This volume is both an educational gateway and a lasting reference for understanding contemporary brain–computer interfaces.

Key Features:

• Pedagogical features include exercises and end-of-chapter summaries
• Accompanied by MATLAB and Python code
• How to use EEGs to develop more intuitive BCIs in real-time scenarios
• Introductory approach accessible to advanced students and ECRs in academia and industry
