Environment Control Using BCI

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are developed to help locked-in patients, who lose control of their bodies and are unable to perform simple tasks such as speech, locomotion, and can´t even effectively interact, with their environment. BCI shows promise in allowing these individuals to interact with a computer using EEC A Brain Computer Interface is a communication system in which messages or commands that an individual sends to the external world do not pass through the brain´s normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles. This type of interface would increase an individual´s independence, leading to an improved quality of life and reduced social costs. A system is created to allow individuals, with the help of BCI, to control wide variety of home appliances via a computer, and allows tasks such as light switching and turning appliances on and off.
