摘要

Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)

invasive or non-invasive

have projected unparalleled vision and promise for assisting patients in need to better their interaction with the surroundings. Inspired by the BCI-based rehabilitation technologies for nerve-system impairments and amputation

we propose an electromagnetic brain-computer-metasurface (EBCM) paradigm

regulated by human's cognition by brain signals directly and non-invasively. We experimentally show that our EBCM platform can translate human's mind from evoked potentials of P300-based electroencephalography to digital coding information in the electromagnetic domain non-invasively

which can be further processed and transported by an information metasurface in automated and wireless fashions. Directly wireless communications of the human minds are performed between two EBCM operators with accurate text transmissions. Moreover

several other proof-of-concept mind-control schemes are presented using the same EBCM platform

exhibiting flexiblycustomized capabilities of information processing and synthesis like visual-beam scanning

wave modulations

and pattern encoding.
