BRAIN MACHINE INTERFACE (BMI) REPORT
[attachment=25213]
WHAT IS BMI?
Interaction between the human neural system and machines.
Communication system that do not depend on peripheral nerves and muscles.
Brain accepts and controls a mechanical device as a natural part of its representation of the body.
BASIC PRINCIPLE:-
Neural impulses generated by the user’s brain (EEG) are detected (usually P300 brain wave responses).
Signals are amplified.
Transmitted to computer
Transformed to device control commands.
Signals translated into action.
APPLICATIONS:-
Functional-neuromuscular stimulation (FNS).
Prosthetic limb control.
Digital identity.
Potential Space Applications.
Crime Investigations.
For healthy users- improved training or performance , speed and accuracy.
Military- fighter pilots.
Entertainment- computer games.
THE BIG CHALLANGES:-
Getting the right codes out for the desired action
Permanent brain damage.
Virus attacks.
In the networked brain condition –what will mean to be human?
Animal rights.
Extensive training required.
FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS:-
Wireless implant in the brain.
Injectable implants.
Better interpretation of waves.
Decode non-motor brain signals.
Thought communications.
CONCLUSION:-
A great deal of efforts in neuroscience, robotics, and computer science are today spent by many research groups to develop BMI.
Concept of BMI have been used for a large number of applications in various fields.
Till now research is going on largely on monkeys and rats.
