# ISO/IEC TS 27571:2026 **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Brain-Computer Interfaces / Data Standards **Doc Type:** Standards Node **Status:** Published Technical Specification, April 2026 **Related:** [[ISO-IEC 8663-2025]], [[BCI Metadata]], [[Non-Invasive BCI]], [[Multimodal Neural Data]] --- ## Definition **ISO/IEC TS 27571:2026**, *Information technology — Brain-computer interfaces — Data format for noninvasive brain information collection*, specifies basic data elements, technology-specific information, metadata and annotations, naming conventions, and an extensible modular structure for non-invasive BCI data. ## Scope The published scope includes EEG, MEG, fNIRS, and fMRI and applications ranging from neurological rehabilitation to human-computer interaction. The specification supports interoperability at the data-format layer; it does not by itself standardize every acquisition protocol, decoder, clinical workflow, or continuity claim. ## Primary source - [ISO catalogue entry](https://www.iso.org/standard/71679.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 TS 27571-2026|ISO-IEC TS 27571-2026]] 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]].
