Brain Computer Interface Companies

This is an attempt at cataloging companies which are primarily focused on the development of BCI hardware, and software. If you don't know what a brain-computer interface is, read this for an explanation.

The long-term goals for this project are to make it simple for anyone to understand the capabilities and limitations of BCI technologies, and to make informed hypotheses about their potential uses.
