BRAIN-COMPUTER

INTERFACE (BCI)

PRESENTED BY:
UMM-E-KALSOOM
 INTRODUCTION:

• Brain-Computer Interference is a fast-

growing emergent technology, in which
researcher aim to built a direct channel
between the Human Brain and the
Computer.

• Computer Brain interfaces are designed to

restore sensory function, transmit sensory
information to the brain, or stimulate the
brain through artificially generated
electrical signals.
MODEL:
 HISTORY:

• Researchers on BCIs has been going on for more

than 20 years, but from the mid-1990s there
has been a dramatic increase in working
experimental implants.

• Many experiments were performed before

releasing BCI into society and for demonstrating
the use of BCI and its implementation , it was
practice on monkeys and rats.
 MAJOR HISTORICAL
EVENTS:
• 1924, Hans Berger, a German neurologist was first to record human brain
activity by means of EEG.
• 1970, Research on BCIs began at university of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
• 1978, A prototype was implanted into a man blinded in adulthood.
• Following year of animal experimentation, the first neuroprosthetic devices
implanted in humans appeared in the mid- 1990s.
• 2005, Matthew Nagle was one of the first persons to use a BCI to restore
functionality lost due to paralysis.
• 2013 Duke University researchers successfully connected the brains of two rats
with electronic interfaces that allowed them to directly share information, in
the first ever direct brain-to-brain interface.

BCI APPROACHES:
 TYPES:
• INVASIVE BCI:
They are implanted directly into the gray matter
of the brain during neurosurgery.
• SEMI INVASIVE BCI:
These devices are implanted inside the skull but
rest outside the brain rather than within the
gray matter.
• NON-INVASIVE BCI:
They do not involve neurosurgery. They are just
like wearable virtual reality devices.
 APPLICATIONS:

• BCI Ear Chip.

• Vision Using BCI.
• Controlling of Video Game
thoughts is possible using BCI.
• Honda’s Brain Machine Interface
controlling Robots by thoughts.
• Monitor stages of sleeping.
 PRO’S AND CON’S:
ADVANTAGES:
• Helps deaf and blind people to
overcome their hearing and
vision inabilities.
• Helps paralyzed people to
express their thoughts and
needs.
• Helps to identify truth by
performing lie detecting test.
• Provide enhance control of
devices such as wheel chairs,
vehicles and assistance robots
for people with disabilities.
LIMITATIONS:
• It is very expensive.
• Information transformation rate
is limited to 20 bits/min.
• Difficulty in adaptation and
learning.
• Patient should be trained how
to think and should go through
physical therapy.
• Ethical issues may prevent its
development.
 CONCLUSION:

The BCI technology further advances, brain

tissue may one day give way to implanted silicon
chips thereby creating a completely
computerized stimulation of the human brain
that can be augmented at will.
Futurists predict that from there, super
human artificial intelligence won’t be far behind.
