BCI_Presentation

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are devices that translate brain signals into commands for controlling external devices, aiding communication for individuals with disabilities. They can be invasive, non-invasive, or partially invasive, with applications in healthcare, gaming, military, and more. The future of BCI includes advancements in AI for better signal interpretation and the potential for immersive virtual reality, though ethical challenges and privacy concerns remain significant issues.

Brain-Computer

Interfaces (BCI)
Exploring the Future of Human-Machine Interaction
What is Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)?

 A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a device that


translates brain signals into commands to control a
device or application.
 BCI is a technology that enables direct communication
between the brain and external devices.
 Uses brain signals to control computers, prosthetics,
and more.
 BCIs can help people with disabilities communicate and
interact with the world around them.
 Can be invasive (implants) or non-invasive (EEG-based
systems).
Types of BCI
• Invasive BCI:
Implanted directly in the brain
(e.g., Neuralink).
• Non-Invasive BCI:
Uses EEG sensors on the scalp.
(e.g., EEG based systems)
• Partially Invasive:
Electrodes placed on brain surface.
(e.g., ECoG – electrocorticography)
History of BCI
1960s-1970s
 Initial experiments using EEG (electroencephalography) to study brain
activity and its potential for controlling machines.
1990s
 Development of the first BCIs for controlling cursors using brain signals.
 Experiments with implanted electrodes to record direct brain activity.
2000s
 Early use of BCI in medical fields
 Improvements in non-invasive EEG for gaming, medical applications.
2010s
 Elon Musk founded Neuralink, aiming for advanced implantable BCIs
to help with neurological diseases.
2020s-Present
 Use of AI and machine learning to enhance signal interpretation and
BCI accuracy.
 Advances in using BCIs for restoring movement and speech in
individuals with severe disabilities(Neuroprosthetics).
How Does BCI Work?
 1. Brain signal detection (EEG, fMRI, implants).

 2. Signal processing and decoding.

 3. Translating signals into commands.

 4. Executing actions in a computer or prosthetic device.


Applications of BCI
Healthcare : Restoring movement for paralyzed patients.
Gaming : Controlling video games with brain signals.
Military: Enhancing communication and control.
Smart Home: Controlling IoT devices with thoughts.
Education : Improve personalized learning experiences.

impairments
Robotics : Enabling precise movements and actions.
Challenges & Ethical Issues
 Privacy concerns: Potential brain data misuse.
 Security risks: Hacking into BCI systems.
 Accessibility: High cost and technical limitations.
 Data Accuracy : Incorrect interpretation leads to
malfunctioning.
 Ethical concerns: Mind control and human
augmentation.
 Invasiveness : Surgical risks and long-term health
concerns.
