Information Technology Brain-Computer Interface Reference Architecture

1 Scope

GB/T 47023-2026 is the Chinese national standard covering the reference architecture of a brain-computer interface - the acquisition, the signal processing and feature extraction, the decoding, the application and the feedback to the user, and the safety and data protection that run through all of it. First edition, and the frame that GB/T 47127-2026 on the data format fits into. It was issued on 28 January 2026 and has been in force since 1 August 2026, as a first edition. The document is under the responsibility of the Standardization Administration of China. This page is published from the official record of the 2026 edition; the clause text of a standard this recent is not yet in circulation, and the figures, limits and tables it contains are those of the document itself, delivered in full with the English translation.

This document establishes a reference architecture for brain-computer interfaces and describes the user view and functional view of brain-computer interfaces. This document applies to the construction, implementation, and maintenance of brain-computer interface systems.

3 Terms and Definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Brain-computer interface (BCI) A system that establishes a direct communication connection between the central nervous system of humans or other animals and external hardware and software systems.

Note. Brain-computer interfaces enable one-way or two-way communication between the brain and external devices, and can be used for control and/or feedback.

3.2 architecture The basic concepts or attributes of an entity in its environment, and the realization and evolution of that entity and its related life cycle processes. Governance principles. [Source: ISO /IEC /IEEE 42010.2022, 3.2]

4 General Principles

This document presents two reference architectures for brain-computer interfaces from the user's perspective and the functional perspective. The user-perspective reference architecture (hereinafter referred to as the user view) is used to describe the activities of the various parties involved in the brain-computer interface. The functional reference architecture (hereinafter referred to as the functional view) is used to describe the functions required to realize brain-computer interface activities.

5 User View

5.1 Overview The user view mainly includes the following aspects.

a) Brain-computer interface participants. one or a group of natural or legal persons who are the executors of brain-computer interface activities;

b) Brain-computer interface activities. a set of specific tasks performed by the participants; brain-computer interface activities require a goal, achieved through function... It can be implemented as a component and can deliver one or more results. The user view of the brain-computer interface reference architecture is shown in Figure 1.
