Abstract
Brain Computer interfacing (BCI) has been under constant research to improvise the pathway amongst the brain and outside subject in several characteristics. This technology is being widely appreciated as the world tends towards automation.
The mechanics of this domain include computer prone brain interfaces induced on the cortical part of the brain which helps in controlling external devices via thought. These interfaces are designed such that they will receive and transmit acoustic data and process them so that they can be recorded as a generalization thereby helping in generating signals artificially. Cochlear Implant has been demonstrated as an example of BCI where stimulation of brain takes place with the help of an external device. As this field is still being developed, there are several factors needed to be focused viz. research/study of the subject, location of electrodes, cost, complexity, performance, setup requirements and security.
BCI field is a highly vast topic and is a combination of various fields like science, technology, medicine etc. This piece of research and study focuses primarily on the neuroscience and technology part. This project is presented to showcase the depth of this field and create interest for further advancement in this field.
Chapter one deals with introduction to the technology as a whole and its related study of papers. Chapter two discusses about brain and the principle behind this technology. Chapter three helps in understanding the technology by splitting its components. This is followed by taking an example of cochlear implant technology in chapter four. Chapter five initiates the wireless approach brought to this technology. And then chapter six is all about challenges, conclusions and ideas of enhancement.
