Brain Computer Interface
Brain Computer interface (BCI) is a communication system that recognized users’ command only from his or her brainwaves and reacts according to them. For this purpose PC and subject is trained. Simple task can consist of desired motion of an arrow displayed on the screen only through subject’s imaginary of something (e.g. motion of his or her left or right hand). As the consequence of imaging process, certain characteristics of the brainwaves are raised and can be used for user’s command recognition, e.g. motor mu waves (brain waves of alpha range frequency associated with physical movements or intention to move).
An Electroencephalogram based Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) provides a new communication channel between the human brain and a computer. Patients who suffer from severe motor impairments (late stage of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), severe cerebral palsy, head trauma and spinal injuries) may use such a BCI system as an alternative form of communication by mental activity.
The use of EEG signals as a vector of communication between men and machines represents one of the current challenges in signal theory research. The principal element of such a communication system, more known as “Brain Computer Interface”, is the interpretation of the EEG signals related to the characteristic parameters of brain electrical activity.
