What is BCI • Brain -Computer Interface -Direct Neural Interface or Brain-Machine Interface • Direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device
Introduction • Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a fast-growing emergent technology, in which researchers aim to build a direct channel between the human brain and the computer. • A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a collaboration in which a brain accepts and controls a mechanical device as a natural part of its representation of the body. • Computer-brain interfaces are designed to restore sensory function, transmit sensory information to the brain, or stimulate the brain through artificially generated electrical signals.
Technical topic • 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
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 • More practical • Embedding multiple chips • More complicated thoughts • Transmission with RF • key requirement: keep the heat down
Advantages • It allows paralyzed people to control the prosthetic limbs with their mind • Transmit visual images to the mind of a blind person which allows them to see • Transmit auditory data to the mind of a deaf person which allows them to hear. • It allows gamers to control the video games with their minds • It allows a mute person to have their thoughts to be displayed and spoken by computer
Disadvantages • BCI are ill effects in the brain due to viral attacks, requiring excessive training for proper usage, high cost, slow speed, lack of better sensor modality, invasive BCIs are risky since it requires neurosurgery etc..
Conclusion • BCI proved successful for communication and control in patients with severe paralyses or in the LIS • BCI allow users to directly communicate their intention without any involvement of the motor periphery • The development of non-visual BCI renders this technology feasible for patients who lost control of eye movement due to disease progression or injury
