OBJECTIVE

The goal of neural interface research is to create links between the nervous system and the outside world.

This can be done either by stimulating or by recording from neural tissue.

It’s ultimate purpose is to assist people with disabilities of neural function

SCOPE

Research to develop systems that can help restore sensory function, communication, and control to impaired humans.

This is turning to be new branch of experimental neuroscience, variously named brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).

TYPES OF BCI’SNeural interface(BCI)

Invasive

Fully invasive

Partial invasive

Non invasive

Invasive BCI :are those which are implantable inside the human brain. They are of two types

Partial invasive : Partially invasive BCI devices are implanted inside the skull but rest outside the brain rather than within the grey matter.

Full invasive : are those BCI devices which are completely integrated in the grey matter of the brain.

WORKING OF INVASIVE

Non invasive: are those which are not implantable but it is easily wearable.

it is not harmful and is completely safe. not very accurate compared to invasive because the skull

blocks the signal

WORKING OF NON INVASIVE

APPLICATIONS Neural interfacing

Medical Gaming Manufacturing communication

Using BCI brain can be

the next console to

play games.

Can be used to assist

people with neural

disabilities.

Can be used as a

communicat-ion medium

by using BCI.

NIS METHODS There are basically three methods for implementing neural interfacing

systems.

They are as follows:

• P300 detection: The P300 (P3) wave is an event related potential (ERP) component which deals with decision making.

• it basically deals with physical attributes of a stimulus. And a person’s reaction to it.

EEG rhythm: The EEG rhythm is believed to reflect an underlying execution/observation matching system.

consists of two types:

• α rhythm deals with the visual cortex

• µ rhythm deals with motor and sensory cortex

CONCLUSION Certainly the applications for BCI devices discussed here are long reach

and BCI device are not yet powerful enough to perform various tasks. Various researches are been deployed under this technology. If it’s

successful it can be a revolutionized technology.

Advantages: How its used in various applications. Helpful for physically disabled people.

Disadvantages Invasive devices may have risk factor to deal with. Non invasive are easily affected by various noises. Patients should be trained how to think and should go through physical

therapy.
