This paper provides an analysis of perspectives from different stakeholders on
the state-of-the-art of BCI. Three barriers for technology transfer of BCIs as
access technologies are identified. First, BCIs are developed with a narrow focus
on creating a reliable technology, while a broader focus on creating a usable
technology is needed. Second, the potential target group, which could benefit
from BCIs as access technologies is expected to be very small. Development costs
are therefore high, while reimbursements are expected to be low, which challenges
the commercial viability. Third, potential target users should be much more
included in the design process of BCIs to ensure that the end-products meet
technical, ethical, legal and social requirements. These three issues need to be
urgently addressed so that target users may benefit from this promising
technology.
