Brain -Computer Interface -Direct Neural Interface or Brain-Machine
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
