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.
