  1. Brain control Interface (BCI) Nick Gomes

  2. 1875 - Richard Canton first discovers electrical signals on the surface of animal brains • 1940s - Wilder Penfield maps the motor cortex for the first time using epilepsy patients • 1950s - Dr. Jose Delgado invents a device that can be controlled using FM radio waves. Tested on a bull and was able to manipulate him by pressing different buttons • 1996 - Philip Kennedy implants the first BCI into a human

  3. BCI • A direct communication link between the human brain and the outside world • Uses brain activity to command or control the world around by means of a system or device • Analyzes signals fired from neurons in the brain

  4. REVERSE BCI?

  5. Electroencephalography (EEG) • Measurements of electrical activity of the brain • Recorded from electrodes placed on scalp • Can record and given feedback for any part of the brain • Can be used for detecting brain diseases

  6. Electroencephalography (EEG)

  7. emotiv • Wireless = more range on motion • Better comfort than regular EEG • Uses thoughts, emotions, facial expression to control • 14 sensors • Lithium Battery - 12 hours of continuous use

  8. emotiv

  9. BCI Vsemotiv

  10. Future • Better technology – combination of EMOTIV and EEG? • Comfort • Easy to use • Cheaper • Use for military • Share thoughts between soldiers • Control exoskeleton (super soldier)

  11. future • Use for prosthetics • Brains sends signals to prosthetics
