This document provides an overview of a brain computer interface project. It introduces the project members and supervisors. It then discusses the problem statements the project aims to address, including helping disabled people live more independently and developing security and medical applications. The document describes EEG signals and how they can be used in a brain computer interface. It outlines the basic system architecture including acquiring EEG signals, preprocessing, classification, and interfacing with a computer. It also mentions the tools, technologies, and agile development methodology that will be used. Finally, it includes a time plan and list of references.

communication without the need of others.

9. EEGsignal(Description )
•Definition:-
An electroencephalogram is a measure of the
brain's voltage changes as detected from scalp
electrodes.
Electrodes: Small metal discs placed on the scalp in special positions.

10. EEGsignal(Description cont)
•It is an approximation of the cumulative electrical
activity of neurons.
•Actions that affect the EEG signals to three categories:-
Muscular Movements
Expressive States
Cognitive States (Our Scope)

11. EEGsignal(Description cont)
•Study of EEG paves the way for some problem:-
Monitoring Alertness, Coma, and Brain death.
locating areas of damage following head injury and
tumour.
Investigating and testing epilepsy.
Monitoring the brain development.
investigating sleep disorders and mental disorders.

13. Brain Computer Interface(Description)
Definition:-
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a collaboration in
which a brain accepts and controls a Mechanical
device as a natural part of its representation of the
body.

14. BrainComputerInterface(Descriptioncont.)
What is it good for ?
•People with little muscle control.
•Early medical diagnose
People with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)
Spinal injuries.
Mental disorders.
Dementia.(cognitive abilities).
Epileptic disease.

15. BrainComputerInterface(Descriptioncont.)
•In Review
Allow those with poor muscle control to
communicate and control physical devices
