Topics can be proposed

Selection of optimized feature and translation for discrimination of Antebrachium and carpus from EEG signals using EMOTIV. Optimized Computational Intelligence based development of Brain Control Interface of 2-DOF Manipulator for Antebrachium and carpus. Development of optimized intelligence based Brain control interface for 2-DOF planner manipulator for Antebrachium and carpus using Emotiv.

Motivation for Research

According to the WHO Tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year on the road side accidents . There are two way to help them in order to restore some motor function, a) Repair the damaged Nerve Axon. b) Build Neuroprosthetic device.

Introduction:

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a fast-growing emergent technology, in which researchers aim to build a direct channel between the human brain and the computer.

A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a collaboration in which a brain accepts and controls a mechanical device as a natural part of its representation of the body.

Computer-brain interfaces are designed to restore sensory function, transmit sensory information to the brain, or stimulate the brain through articially generated

electrical signals

A Brief History

Hans Berger (around 1929, by an Austrian Psychiatrist) was the first to record electroencephalographs from humans and discovered the alpha waves.. In 1957 Fetz and colleagues, at the Regional Primate Research Center and Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle showed for the first time that monkeys could learn to control the deflection of a biofeedback meter arm with neural activity. In 1980 Color brain mapping (quantitative EEG) was discovered. Phillip Kennedy (who later founded Neural Signals In 1987) and colleagues built the first intracortical braincomputer interface by implanting neurotropic-cone electrodes into monkeys. In 1999, researchers led by Yang Dan at the University of California, Berkeley decoded neuronal firings to reproduce images seen by cats.

Literature Review
(Brain Control Interface)

Currently BCIs are used to control cursor and communication by mean of selection of letters or different icons on the personal computer. (e.g. Birbaumer in 1999;Wolpaw and MacFarland in 2004; Blankertz and Hochberg in 2006 ). Interface between machine and animal brain have been used to control robotics arm by Wessberg in 2000, Taylor in 2002 and by Lebedev and Nicolelis in 2006). In march 2013, EPFL Switzerland, developed a Brain Controlled Wheelchairs An EEG-based online brain computer interface for mobile robot control is developed by ESSEX UNI in 2012.
