Abstract
The increasing integration of brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) with augmented reality (AR) presents new possibilities for immersive and interactive environments, particularly through the use of head-mounted displays (HMDs). Despite the growing interest, a comprehensive understanding of BCI-AR systems is still emerging. This systematic review aims to synthesize existing research on the use of BCIs for controlling AR environments via HMDs, highlighting the technological advancements and challenges in this domain. An extensive search across electronic databases, including IEEEXplore, PubMed, and Scopus, was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 41 studies eligible for analysis. This review identifies key areas for future research, potential limitations, and offers insights into the evolving trends in BCI-AR systems, contributing to the development of more robust and user-friendly applications.Keywords
