I have googled and wik'd this and could find arguments for each of the 3 dates, though I think that it is probably 1997.

Good luck everybody. :beer:

The first commercially available Brain Computer Interface

Was 1997 so unless they were developing it for 10 years - possible

Doing some brief research it seems that this research has been ongoing since the late 1800's, early computers started in the 60's and 70's. My GUESS is that it's 1987

see section : non-invasive BCI.

(EEG) is the most studied potential non-invasive interface, mainly due to its fine temporal resolution, ease of use, portability and low set-up cost. But as well as the technology's susceptibility to noise, another substantial barrier to using EEG as a brain-computer interface is the extensive training required before users can work the technology. For example, in experiments beginning in the mid-1990s, Niels Birbaumer of the University of Tübingen in Germany used EEG recordings of slow cortical potential to give paralysed patients limited control over a computer cursor.
