    A brainmachine interface is a communicatio n system that does not depend on the brains normal output pathways of peripheral nerves andmuscles. It uses brainactivity to command, control, actuate and communicate with the worlddirectly through brain integration with peripheral devices and systems. The signals from the brain are taken to the computer via the implants for dataentry without any direct brain intervention.

    ABSTRACT

    A brainmachine interface is a

    communicatio n system that does notdepend on the brains normal output pathways of peripheral

    nerves andmuscles. It is a new communicatio n link between a functioning human brainand the

    outside world.These are electronic interfaces with the brain, whichhas the ability to send and receive

    signals from the brain. BMI uses brainactivity to command, control, actuate and communicate

    with the worlddirectly through brain integration with peripheral devices and systems. Thesignals

    from the brain are taken to the computer via the implants for dataentry without any direct brain intervention.

    BMI transforms mental decisionsand/o r reactions into control signals by analyzing the

    bioelectrical brainactivity. While linking the brain directly with machines was once

    consideredscie nce fiction, advances over the past few years have made it increasinglyvia ble. It is an

    area of intense research with almost limitless possibilities.Th e human brain is the most complex

    physical system we know of, and wewould have to understand its operation in great detail to

    build such a device. An immediate goal of brainmachine interface study

    is to provide a way forpeople with damaged sensory/motor functions to use their brain to controlartificia

    l devices and restore lost capabilities. By combining the latestdevelopm ents in computer

    technology and hi-tech engineering, paralyzedperso ns will be able to control a motorized wheel chair,

    computer painter, orrobotic arm by thought alone. In this era where drastic diseases are

    gettingcommo n it is a boon if we can develop it to its full potential. Recenttechnica l and

    theoretical advances, have demonstrated the ultimatefeasibi lity of this concept for a wide range of

    space-based applications.B esides the clinical purposes such an interface would find immediateappl

    ications in various technology products also.

    1. INTRODUCTI

    ON Picture a time when humans see in the UV and IR portions of theelectromag netic spectrum,

    or hear speech on the noisy flight deck of anaircraft carrier; or when soldiers communicate

    by thought alone. Imagine atime when the human brain has its own wireless modem so that

    instead of acting on thoughts, war fighters have thoughts that act. Imagine that one daywe

    will be able to download vast amounts of knowledge directly to ourbrain! So as to cut the

    lengthy processes of learning everything from scratch.Instead of paying to go

    to university we could pay to get a "knowledgeim plant" and perhaps be able to obtain

    many lifetimes worth of knowledgeand expertise in various fields at a young age. When we

    talk about high end computing and intelligent interfaces, wejust cannot ignore robotics and artificial

    intelligence. In the near future, mostdevices would be remote/logicall y controlled. Researchers

    are close tobreakthrough s in neural interfaces, meaning we could soon mesh our

    mindswith machines. This technology has the capability to impact our lives inways that have been

    previously thought possible in only sci-fi movies. BrainMachine Interface

    (BMI) is a communicatio n system, whichenables the user to control special computer

    applications by using only his orher thoughts. It will allow human brain to accept and control a

    mechanicaldev ice as a part of the body. Data can flow from brain to the outsidemachin ery, or to brain

    from the outside machinery. Different researchgroups have examined and used

    different methods to achieve this. Almost allof them are based on electroencepha

    lography (EEG) recorded from thescalp. Our major goal of such research is to create a

    system that allowpatients who have damaged their sensory/motor nerves severely to

    activateoutside mechanisms by using brain signals. Cyber kinetics Inc, a leader in neurotechnolo

    gy has developed the firstimplantabl e brainmachine interface that can reliably

    interpret brain signalsand perhaps read decisions made in the brain to develop a fast,

    reliable andunobtrusiv e connection between the brain of severely disabled

    person to apersonal computer. D ep t . of E l e ct ro ni c s & C om m u ni ca t i on C o l l eg e
