Brain computer interaction
- 2. INTRODUCTION Brain Computer Interface is a direct communication pathway between brain and an external device. Richard Caton was the pioneer who discovered electrical signals on the surface of animal brains through his path-breaking research. Brain signals such as the EEG suggested the possibility of non- muscular communication and control, consummated through a BCI.
- 3. Factors influencing BCI BCI supports the emerging needs of people affected with ALS, brain stem stroke etc. Recent strides in measurement of EEG in tandem with brain activity research in humans and animals.
- 4. Factors Continued Evolution of low cost hardware that allows complex real-time analysis of brain activity. The recent surge in BCI research is new recognition of the extravagant adaptive capacities of the central nervous system.
- 5. What is a BCI? A BCI is a communication and control system that establishes real-time interaction with the user and outside world. BCI does not depend in any way on the brain’s normal neuromuscular output channels.
- 6. How does BCI work? It works on interaction of two adaptive controllers: 1) The user, who generates brain signals that encodes intent. 2) BCI system, that must translate the received signals into commands that perseveres the user’s intent. 3)BCI usage is a skill-oriented tactic which user and system should acquire and maintain.

- 13. BCI systems would certainly need an adept futuristic enhancement because of them being slow. The users are to amass a specific domain of skills , taking all the miniature aspects into consideration. Over dealing with CNS involves many potential risks and any malfunction could result in chronic disorders.
- 14. Conclusion: The research primarily focuses on developing new augmentative communication and control technology It gives modus operandi for those who suffer from severe neuro- muscular disorders, such as ALS, brain stem stroke and spinal cord afflictions.
