# IEEE P2731 **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Brain-Computer Interfaces / Terminology **Doc Type:** Standards-Work Node **Maturity:** Active IEEE Project Authorization Request (PAR), checked August 2026 **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30 **Related:** [[ISO-IEC 8663-2025]], [[Human-in-the-Loop BCI]], [[Brain-Computer Interfaces]] --- ## Definition **IEEE P2731** is referenced in the source article as a BCI terminology effort emphasizing cross-disciplinary and human-in-the-loop concepts, including attention, intention, engagement, feedback, and active user agency. ## Status boundary IEEE lists P2731 as an **Active PAR**, not an approved final IEEE standard. The project page also lists no active approved standard. Publication workflows should preserve that distinction and recheck status near publication. ## Primary source - [IEEE SA P2731 project page](https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/519/7383/) ## Neurotech cluster route **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Source articles:** [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] ## Relationships [[wiki/IEEE P2731|IEEE P2731]] is related to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] through [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]]. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry is routed through [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]].
