Brain Computer Interface

This document provides an overview of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). It discusses the challenges in BCI including low signal strength, data transfer rate, and error rate. It describes the different types of BCI including invasive, partially invasive, and non-invasive acquisition techniques. Applications of BCI include providing communication and device control for disabled individuals, enhancing control of wheelchairs and robots, and developing intelligent relaxation devices. While BCI allows new capabilities, challenges remain in interpreting the complex brain signal with sufficient clarity and developing portable equipment.

The BCI can lead to many applications


especially for disabled person.

BCI applications utilize the brain and its


nervous system functions.
Introduction
Challenges in BCI
Low BCI signal strength
Data transfer rate
High error rate
Inaccurate signal
classification
BCI System
How BCI works
BCI Types
Invasive BCI acquisition techniques
Partially Invasive BCI
acquisition techniques
Non Invasive BCI
acquisition techniques
Invasive BCI
Acquisition Techniques
 Invasive BCI devices have to be used to
capture brain signals.

 Invasive BCI devices are inserted directly into


the human brain by a critical surgery.

 These devices
have the highest
quality of human
brain signals.
Partially Invasive BCI
Acquisition Techniques
Partially Invasive BCI devices are implanted
inside the skull but rest outside the brain.

Signalstrength using this type of BCI is


bit weaker.

Partially Invasive
BCIs have less risk of
scar tissue formation.
Non Invasive BCI
Acquisition Techniques
Non Invasive BCI has the least signal
clarity when it comes to communicating
with the brain.
It has less risk
than the above
two methods.
BCI Signal Types
There are a plethora of signals, which can be
used for BCI.
These signals are divide into two
classes: spikes and field potentials.
Classification of EEG signals:
◦ Delta
◦ Theta
◦ Alpha
◦ Beta
◦ Gamma
Classification of BCI Signals
Delta signal

Theta signal

Alpha signal

Beta signal

Gamma
signal
Applications of BCI
Provide disabled people with
communication, environment control, and
movement restoration.

Provide enhanced control of devices such


as wheelchairs, vehicles, or assistance
robots for people with disabilities.

Provideadditional channel of control


in computer games.
Applications of BCI
Monitor attention in long-distance drivers
or aircraft pilots, send out alert and
warning for aircraft pilots.

Develop intelligent relaxation devices.

Control robots that function in dangerous


or inhospitable situations.

“Google Search” through brain.


Projects

Advantages of BCI
Allow paralyzed people to control
prosthetic limbs with their mind.
Allows human to enhance their strength
and endurance(EXOSKELETON).
 Transmit visual images to mind of
blind person.
Transmit auditory data to mind of
deaf person.
Allow gamers to control video games
with their mind.
Disadvantages of BCI
The brain is incredibly complex.
Signal is weak and prone to
interference.
The equipment is less than portable.
Future??

Surrogates(2008)
Conclusion
 BCI is an advancing technology promising paradigm
shift in areas like Machine Control, Human reality
and etc. So, it’s potentially high impact technology.
