- Active BCI
- The active BCI derives pattern from brain activity, which is directly and consciously controlled by the user, independently from external events, for controlling a device.
- Example: In active BCIs, the user intentionally performs a mental task that produces a certain pattern of brain activity, which the BCI system detects for processing

- Cognition
- 1. the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.
"these infections can adversely affect cognition and educational achievement"

- Intuitive
- 1. using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive.

- State-of-art
- The state of the art refers to the highest level of general development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field achieved at a particular time. However, in some contexts it can also refer to a level of development reached at any particular time as a result of the common methodologies employed at the time.
