Scope

This document establishes a comprehensive framework for the hardware interfaces and protocols that govern the interoperability of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems and modules. By defining standardized interfaces and communication protocols, this stan dard aims to facilitate the seamless integration of diverse BCI modules and compatibility of diverse external devices, thereby promoting innovation, enhancing user experience, and expanding the potential applications of BCI technology. The scope of this st andard encompasses:

- The architectural framework of BCI systems, including key modules and their communication protocols.

- The protocols specifications for key modules within a BCI system, as well as between systems and between systems and external devices.

Purpose

The BCI industry currently faces challenges related to the interoperability and compatibility of different BCI systems and modules. The lack of standardized hardware interfaces and communication protocols has hindered the integration of diverse components and the connection with external devices, limiting the widespread adoption and innovation of BCI technology. This proposal addresses this issue by providing a standardized framework that can be adopted by the industry, thereby advancing the development and application of BCI technology.

- Global Metrics: The global BCI market's significant growth potential will be enhanced by this standard, which reduces development costs and time-to-market through improved integration and interoperability.

- Technological Benefit: This standard establishes clear interfaces and protocols to ensure system coherence and enhance interoperability among BCI modules and external devices.

- Economic Benefit: By simplifying integration and reducing costs, this standard improves business efficiency for enterprises of all sizes, allowing developers to focus on innovation rather than compatibility issues.

- Societal Benefit: This standard enhances user experience and expands BCI applications in healthcare, education, and communication, delivering significant societal benefits.

- Environmental Benefit: By promoting resource efficiency in BCI system development and operation, this standard contributes to environmental sustainability.

- Intended Use: This document serves as requirements for conformity assessment and provides guidance for the design and development of BCI systems and related products.
