1. Establishment and Reconstitution of AG 16 Brain-computer Interface

JTC 1 established an Advisory Group 16 on Brain-computer Interface reporting directly to JTC 1 on ISO/IEC JTC 1 4-8 Meeting in November 2019.

JTC 1 reconstituted the Advisory Group 16 (AG16) on Brain-computer Interface, and AG16 is instructed to submit an interim report for consideration at the May 2021 JTC1 Plenary as well as a subsequent report to the November 2021 JTC1 Plenary.

2. Scope

Based on the resolution of the meeting ( ISO/IEC JTC 1 N14542), JTC 1 established Advisory Group 16 on Brain-computer Interface which would directly report to JTC 1 with the following terms of reference:

1. Provide a description of key concepts related to Brain-computer Interface, and describe relevant terminology;

2. Study and document the technological, market and related societal requirements for the future ICT standardization on Brain-computer Interface;

3. Study and document current technologies that are being deployed in Brain-computer

Interface;

4. Promote the awareness of JTC 1 activities on Brain-computer Interface outside JTC 1;

5. Assess the current state of standardization activities relevant to Brain-computer Interface within JTC 1, in other relevant ISO and IEC Committees, in other SDOs and in consortia.

6. Identify and propose how JTC 1 should address the ICT standardization needs of Brain computer Interface;

7. Engage with standards setting organizations that are involved in Brain-computer Interface standardization as approved by this Advisory Group on Brain-computer Interface.
