As Brain-Computer interfaces are getting less complex and more portable, they provide opportunities to be used in mobile interaction. Collecting information about the usersâ mental states passively, or actively providing signals for hands-free interaction with various systems and applications, are among the rising uses of BCIs of the future. However, many challenges still exist in the design, aesthetics, and reliability of BCIs to be used in everyday life. In this paper, we introduce challenges hindering BCIs from becoming mainstream in our lives and explore several use cases in which BCIs can be used to enrich the mobile interaction.
