BRAIN-COMPUTER
INTERFACE (BCI)
PRESENTED BY: UMM-E-KALSOOM INTRODUCTION:
• Brain-Computer Interference is a fast-
growing emergent technology, in which researcher aim to built a direct channel between the Human Brain and the Computer.
• Computer Brain interfaces are designed to
restore sensory function, transmit sensory information to the brain, or stimulate the brain through artificially generated electrical signals. MODEL: HISTORY:
• Researchers on BCIs has been going on for more
than 20 years, but from the mid-1990s there has been a dramatic increase in working experimental implants.
• Many experiments were performed before
releasing BCI into society and for demonstrating the use of BCI and its implementation , it was practice on monkeys and rats. MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENTS: • 1924, Hans Berger, a German neurologist was first to record human brain activity by means of EEG. • 1970, Research on BCIs began at university of California Los Angeles (UCLA). • 1978, A prototype was implanted into a man blinded in adulthood. • Following year of animal experimentation, the first neuroprosthetic devices implanted in humans appeared in the mid- 1990s. • 2005, Matthew Nagle was one of the first persons to use a BCI to restore functionality lost due to paralysis. • 2013 Duke University researchers successfully connected the brains of two rats with electronic interfaces that allowed them to directly share information, in the first ever direct brain-to-brain interface. WORKING: Captain cybrog BCI APPROACHES: TYPES: • INVASIVE BCI: They are implanted directly into the gray matter of the brain during neurosurgery. • SEMI INVASIVE BCI: These devices are implanted inside the skull but rest outside the brain rather than within the gray matter. • NON-INVASIVE BCI: They do not involve neurosurgery. They are just like wearable virtual reality devices. APPLICATIONS:
• BCI Ear Chip.
• Vision Using BCI. • Controlling of Video Game thoughts is possible using BCI. • Honda’s Brain Machine Interface controlling Robots by thoughts. • Monitor stages of sleeping. PRO’S AND CON’S: ADVANTAGES: LIMITATIONS: • Helps deaf and blind people to • It is very expensive. overcome their hearing and • Information transformation rate vision inabilities. is limited to 20 bits/min. • Helps paralyzed people to • Difficulty in adaptation and express their thoughts and learning. needs. • Patient should be trained how • Helps to identify truth by to think and should go through performing lie detecting test. physical therapy. • Provide enhance control of • Ethical issues may prevent its devices such as wheel chairs, development. vehicles and assistance robots for people with disabilities. CONCLUSION:
The BCI technology further advances, brain
tissue may one day give way to implanted silicon chips thereby creating a completely computerized stimulation of the human brain that can be augmented at will. Futurists predict that from there, super human artificial intelligence won’t be far behind. REFERENCES: Thanks for your attention…!!!
