BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE
DEFINITIONA brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes
called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface, is a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device.
TYPESInvasive Brain Computer Interfaces -implanted directly into the brain and has the
highest quality signals. -provide functionality to paralyzed people. Partially Invasive Brain Computer Interfaces -implanted inside the skull but outside the brain. Non Invasive Brain Computer Interfaces -gives a patient the ability to move muscle implants
and restore partial movement.
ELECTRIC BRAINOur brains are filled with neurons.Every time we think, move, feel or remember
something, our neurons are at work. That work is carried out by small electric signals
that zip from neuron to neuron as fast as 250 mph.
ELECTRIC BRAIN
BCI INPUT AND OUTPUTThe easiest and least invasive method is a set of
electrodes -- a device known as an electroencephalograph (EEG) -- attached to the scalp.
The electrodes can read brain signals.The electrodes measure minute differences in the voltage
between neurons. The signal is then amplified and filtered.
In current BCI systems, it is then interpreted by a computer program
BCI INPUT AND OUTPUT
BCI APPLICATIONSBCI is mainly used for severely disabled people.
NEUROPROSTHETICS Neuroprosthetics is an area of neuroscience concerned
with neural prostheses—using artificial devices to replace the function of impaired nervous systems or sensory organs.
The most widely used neuroprosthetic device is the cochlear implant.
There are also several neuroprosthetic devices that aim to restore vision, including retinal implants.
BCI VERSUS NEUROPROSTHETICS Neuroprosthetics typically connect the nervous
system to a device.BCIs usually connect the brain (or nervous
system) with a computer system.

BCI ADVANTAGESBCIs will help creating a Direct communication pathway
between a human or animal brain and any external devices like computers.
BCI has increased the possibility of treatment of disabilities related to nervous system along with the old technique of Neuroprosthetics.
Techniques like EEG, MEG and neurochips have come into discussions since the BCI application have started developing.
This has provided a new work area for scientists and researchers around the world.
BCI DRAWBACKSThe brain is incredibly complex.The signal is weak and prone to interference.The equipment is less than portable.
CONCLUSION Newly purchased computers will one day
arrive with biological signal sensors and thought-recognition software built in, just as keyboard and mouse are commonly found on today's units.
