China's First National Standards for Brain-Computer Interfaces Take Effect
Two national standards for brain-computer interfaces took effect in China on 1 August 2026, the first foundational standards the field has had there. GB/T 47023 defines a reference architecture for BCI systems; GB/T 47127 sets a common format for multimodal data, down to directory structure and file naming. Both carry the GB/T prefix, marking them as recommended rather than mandatory, so they bind no one by law and work only as far as industry and procurement choose to adopt them.
