The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Subcommittee (SC) in IEC operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
ISO/IEC 8663:2025 specifies the terms and definitions commonly used in the field of brain–computer interface (BCI), including basic concepts and classifications of BCI, hardware, experiment setups and protocols used in BCI, related neuroscience concepts of BCI (e.g. coding and decoding, feedback and stimulation), and its applications.
