Topic: - “BRAIN -MACHINE INTERFACE”


ABSTRACT

“No technology is superior if it tends to overrule human faculty. In fact, it should be other way around”

A BRAIN -MACHINE INTERFACE is a communication system that does not depend on the brains normal output pathways of peripheral nerves and muscles. It is a new communication link between a functioning human brain and outside world. These are electronic interfaces with the brain, which has the ability to send and receive signals from the brain. The signals from the brain are taken to the computer via the implants for data entry without any direct brain intervention. An immediate goal of BMI study is to provide a way for people with damaged sensory/motor functions to use their brain to control artificial devices and restore lost capabilities.

Imagine that you are somewhere else and you have to control a machine which is in a remote area, where human can’t withstand for a long time. In such a condition we can move to this BRAIN -MACHINE INTERFACE. It is similar to robotics but it is not exactly a robot. In the robot the interface has a sensor with controller but here the interface with human and machine. In the present wheel chair movements are done according to the patient by controlling the joystick with only up, reverse, left and right movements are possible. But if the patient is a paralyzed person, then it is a critical for the patient to take movements. Such a condition can be recovered by this approach. The main objective of this paper is to interface the human and machine, by doing this several objects can be controlled. This paper enumerates how Human and Machine can be interfaced and researches undergone on recovery of paralyzed person in their mind.
