This document discusses brain computer interfaces (BCI). It defines a BCI as a direct connection between the human brain and a computer that allows thought-based control of devices. The document outlines different types of BCI acquisition techniques from invasive to non-invasive and describes some applications like assisting disabled individuals and enhancing video games. It also notes advantages like controlling prosthetics but disadvantages like weak signals and complex brains.
2. Introduction
Brain computer interface is a direct connection between computer an
human brain.
The brain computer can lead to many applications especially for disabled
person.
Brain computer interface applications utilize the brain and its newrons
system functions.
3. A brain computer interface is a technology which allows a human to control a computer
peripheral, or other electronic devices with thought.
It does so by using electrodes to detect electric signals in the brain which are send to a
computer.
The computer then translates these electric signals into data which is used to control a
computer or a device linked to a computer.
8. Invasive BCI Acquisition techniques
Invasive brain computer interface devices have to be used to capture brain
signales.
Invasive brain computer interface devices are inserted directly into the
human brain by a critical surgery.
These devices have the highest quality of human brain signals.
9. Partially invasive BCI Acquisition
techniques
Partially invasive brain computer interface devices are implanted inside
the shull but rest outside the brain.
Signal strength using this type of brain computer interface is bit weaker.
Partially invasive brain computer interfaces have less risk of scar tissue
formation.
10. Non invasive BCI acquisition
techniques
Non intasive brain computer interface has thes least signal clarity when it
comes to communicating with the brain.
It has less risk then the above tow method
11. 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.
Provide addititional channel of control in computer games.
12. Cont….
Monitor attention in long-distance drivers or aircraft pilots.
Develop intelligent relaxation devices.
Control robots that function in dangerous or inhospitable situations.
“Google search “ through brain.
13. Advantages of BCI
Allow paralyzed people to control prosthetic limbs with their mind.
Transmit visual images to mind of blind person.
Tranmit auditory data to mind of deaf person.
Allow gamers to control video games with their mind.
14. Disadvantages of BCI
The brain is incredibly complex.
Signal is weak and prone to interence.
The equipment is less then portable.
15. Conclusion
Bci is an advancing technology promising paradigm shift in areas like
machine control , reality and etc.
So ,it’s potentially high impact technology.
