Brain–computer interface' is part of WikiProject Transhumanism, which aims to organize, expand, clean up, and guide Transhumanism related articles on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article, or visit the project page for more details.TranshumanismWikipedia:WikiProject TranshumanismTemplate:WikiProject TranshumanismTranshumanism
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles
Maintenance / Etc
Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)
Brain–computer interface was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

I utilized Wikipedia's Peer Review template, which breaks peer review down into these categories:
Lead
The lead section is a great introduction to the topic of brain-computer interface. It is short and to the point, as suggested by the Wiki writing style guide.
The author implemented small changes that further clarified what modalities are classified as non-invasive, partially invasive, and invasive.
I think this is a great lead paragraph. I don't recommend any changes to this section.
Content
Endovascular Section:
I appreciated the addition of the Stentrode paragraph in the endovascular section. The author used very recent and relevant research to keep this WikiPage up to date. This is such a new and forth coming field so I imagine there will be many additions to this page over time.
The additions are well-cited and linked appropriately to their respective Wiki Pages when needed.
I do find this section to be very medical terminology heavy, however, I believe that is unavoidable due to the complex nature of this topic. If possible, it may be beneficial to try to keep wording to easily digestible material for the general public - but I recognize how difficult this is with this topic.
ECoG Section:
Again, the author added groundbreaking and recent research to the article to keep it up to date.
I think this was a nice update that highlights how far the medical community has come with this type of technology.
EEG Section:
In this section specifically the author added a systemic review of randomized controlled trials - which is the gold standard for citations for Wiki.
I think this was a useful addition to this section to summarize the efficacy and potential of this technology.
Tone and Balance
The author added some clarification to the wording in the communication section that helps the flow of the section.
Sources and Resources
The author used many peer reviewed sources to back up his statements.
As this is a new and emerging topic, he tried to use systemic reviews when possible.
Since this is such an evolving field, the author properly cited primary research when necessary to keep the article up to date.
Organization
I think the Wiki Page is well organized.
I don't have any recommended changes.
Images and Media
I really appreciated the hand-drawn image that the author added to the article. It very simply shows the differences between the modalities of BCIs.
This was a great addition to the article and is visually pleasing to audiences.
Overall impressions
The authors significantly contributed to this article's development.
He tried his best to use systematic reviews and text book material, but this is such a new and evolving field that required primary sources to show the progress the medical community has made in recent years.
I believe it may be hard for the lay person to read this entire article, but I also think that is due to the complexity of the topic.
The author used appropriate linking and clarification to keep the article as easy to read as possible.
