Definitions
Braincomputer interface (BCI) A direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device A.K.A.
mind-machine interface (MMI) direct neural interface brainmachine interface (BMI)
History
Hans Berger
First EEG recording in 1924 Find oscillation activity: alpha wave (8-12Hz)
History
Animal Study
1970s University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle 1980s Johns Hopkins University
Types
Invasive
Put the whole module into the brain
Partially Invasive
Attach sensors on the surface of the brain
Non-invasive
Leave everything outside of the skull
Invasive BCI
Sci-Fi
Plug in to human central neural system Qualia: subjective feelings
Real world
Vision
William Dobelle
Movement
Robotic arms
Non-Invasive BCI
EEG
the electrical activity along the scalp
MEG
the magnetic fields produced by brain
MRI
Use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging
uses a powerful magnetic field to systematically alter the alignment of this magnetization causes the nuclei to produce a rotating magnetic field which can be detected
MEG
Magnetoencephalography
Record magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices)
EEG
Electroencephalography
the most studied fine temporal resolution ease of use portability low set-up cost
EEG Measurement
Measure the wave generated by the brain
Brain Waves
Different Brain waves
0.1Hz ~ 3Hz 4Hz ~ 7Hz 8Hz ~ 12Hz 12Hz ~ 15Hz 16Hz ~ 20Hz
