# ISO/IEC 8663:2025 **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Brain-Computer Interfaces / Terminology **Doc Type:** Standards Node **Status:** Published International Standard, September 2025 **Related:** [[ISO-IEC TS 27571-2026]], [[Brain-Computer Interfaces]], [[Neural Decoding]], [[Closed-Loop BCI]] --- ## Definition **ISO/IEC 8663:2025**, *Information technology — Brain-computer interfaces — Vocabulary*, specifies terms and definitions for BCI concepts and classifications, hardware, experimental protocols, neuroscience concepts including coding, decoding, feedback and stimulation, and applications. ## Architectural role A shared vocabulary is the semantic foundation beneath compatible data formats and reporting. It reduces the risk that different devices or research groups use the same word for different operations or different words for equivalent concepts. ## Primary source - [ISO catalogue entry](https://www.iso.org/standard/83268.html) ## 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/ISO-IEC 8663-2025|ISO-IEC 8663-2025]] is related to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] through [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]].
