Brain Computer Interface

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow direct communication between the brain and external devices. Research on BCIs began in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1990s that the first working experimental implants in humans appeared following years of animal experimentation. BCIs can be invasive, requiring implants in the brain or skull, non-invasive using technologies like EEG and MRI, or partially-invasive with implants in the skull. Invasive BCIs provide the highest quality signals but also risks like scar tissue buildup. BCIs have applications in restoring movement for paralysis and are being explored for uses in gaming, military interfaces for pilots, and future medical treatments.

Interface

Direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device.


Research on BCIs began in the 1970s at the University of California Los Angeles

BCI HISTORY
1970s- Research on BCIs began, by the
hans bergers

1990s but it wasn't until the mid- that the


first working experimental implants in humans appeared. Following years of animal experimentation.

Real Story : Monkey think, Robot Do

Learning to control a brain-machine interface for reaching and grasping by primates.

How does it work?


Signal Acquisition Signal

Processing

Devices

Data Acquisition

Data Acquisition or types


Invasive BCIs Non-Invasive BCIs Partially-Invasive BCIs Wireless BCIs

Invasive BCIs
Implanted: grey matter Signals: highest quality Scar-tissue build-up Target:

repairing damaged sight providing new functionality to persons with paralysis


Artificial Vision System

Electrode Arrays

Non-Invasive BCIs
poor signal resolution power muscle implants and restore partial movement Interfaces

EEG MEG MRI

Partially-Invasive BCIs
Implanted: skull lower risk of forming scar-tissue in the brain Signal quality between invasive BCIs & non-invasive BCIs

Wireless BCIs
Size: 2cm in diameter8cm thick Low cost Receive Distance: 10m ~ 50m

Part of the Brain


Frontal Lobes
Personality, emotions, problem solving.

Parietal lobes
Cognition, spatial relationships and mathematical abilities, nonverbal memory.

Occipital lobes
Vision, color, shape and movement.

Temporal lobes
Speech and auditory processing, language comprehension, long-term memory.

Waves At A Glance
Type
Delta Theta

Frequency
<4 Hz 4-7 Hz

Location
everywhere temporal and parietal

Use
occur during sleep, coma correlated with emotional stress (frustration & disappointment)

Alpha

8-12 Hz

occipital and reduce amplitude with parietal sensory stimulation or mental imagery parietal and frontal can increase amplitude during intense mental activity

Beta

12-36 Hz

Applications of BCI The immediate application of our


technology goes toward improving the lives of severely disabled patients. This technology presents itself as useful in any situation where one might desire to communicate without any vocal or physical manifestation. Military Use (fighter pilots) Games

Disadvantages

Headache Exhausting Laziness

Future

Integrate with different territory The mental typewriter.. Nursing and medical treatment
