Introduction
Introduction
 Imagine a world where you can control devices using only
your thoughts—no touch, no voice, just your mind.
 Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are an emerging
technology that connects the human brain directly to
computers or machines.
 BCIs enable humans to communicate, control, and interact
with devices using brain signals alone.
 This technology is empowering people with severe paralysis
to operate wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, and other assistive
devices.
 Beyond healthcare, BCIs are paving the way for innovations
in gaming, communication, and education.
 In essence, BCIs are transforming human interaction with
technology, making the impossible possible.
Literature Review
Literature Review
 BCIs are an emerging technology connecting the
brain directly to devices.
 EEG-based BCIs are popular for comfort and real-time
control.
 Machine learning makes BCIs smarter and more
accurate.
 Indian contributions: IIT Madras (CCBR), Prof. Diwakar
Vaish (mind-controlled robot & wheelchair), Dr. C.
Kesavadas (medical BCIs).
 Challenges: Signal noise, user variability, calibration.
 Future: Smarter, robust BCIs transforming healthcare,
prosthetics, and communication.
How BCI Works
How BCI Works
• Brain Activity: Neurons in the brain send electrical
impulses when we think or move.
• Signal Acquisition: Sensors (like EEG caps with
electrodes) record these brainwaves.
•Signal Processing: Software filters noise and decodes
patterns.
•Command Output: The system converts signals into
actions (e.g., moving a wheelchair, typing on a screen).
👉 Example: You think of moving your right hand →
electrodes detect specific brainwave pattern →
computer translates it → robotic arm moves.
What is BCI?
What is BCI?
 Definition: A system that reads brain activity,
translates it into digital signals, and sends commands to
a computer or machine.
 Core Idea: Turn thoughts into actions without using
muscles.
 It’s like learning a new language—but the language is
brainwaves.
Types Of BCI
Types Of BCI
 Invasive BCI
 Semi-Invasive BCI
 Non-Invasive BCI
1.Invasive BCI
1.Invasive BCI
 Tiny wires are placed
inside the brain.
 They catch brain signals
directly from neurons.
 Signals are sent to a
computer to control
devices like robotic
arms.
 Very accurate but
requires surgery.
 Helps paralyzed people
move robotic hands or
type with thoughts.
2.Semi-Invasive BCI
2.Semi-Invasive BCI

 Helps paralyzed people
move robotic hands or
type with thoughts.
3.Non-Invasive BCI
3.Non-Invasive BCI
 Electrodes or EEG cap
worn on head, no
surgery.
 Captures brain waves
from the scalp.
 Controls wheelchairs,
computers, or gaming
devices.
 Safe and easy, but
signals are weaker; user
needs practice.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is an amazing technology
that connects the human brain directly with machines. It is
helping differently-abled people communicate, move, and
live independently. With applications in medicine, gaming,
smart homes, and robotics, BCI is shaping the future.
Though it has challenges like cost and signal accuracy,
ongoing research and innovations are making it more
practical. In the coming years, BCI will become more
common, improving lives and opening new possibilities for
human-machine interaction.”
