Brain-Computer Interface Application:

What is Brain Computer Interface?

• Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology is a
powerful communication tool between users and
systems .
• Interaction between of human neural system and
machine.
 What is Brain Computer Interface?
• It is to brain activity to command, control or/and
communicate with the world directly through brain
integration with peripheral devices and systems.
 What is Brain Computer Interface?
• Brain does not use peripheral nerves in order to
give orders to our body. Instead, the orders are
captured directly by BCI devices and encoded into
electro-physiological signals.
What is Brain Computer Interface?
• The research community has initially developed
BCIs with biomedical applications.
• This technology makes it easier for a human to
communicate with computers or external devices,
such as prosthetic devices (especially for the
patients with severe neuromuscular disorders).
• However, the scope of research has been further
widened to include non-medical applications.

 Types of BCIs

• In invasive technology, electrodes are neurosurgically implanted

either inside the user’s brain or over the surface of the brain, while
in non-invasive technologies, the brain activity is measured using
external sensors
 An EEG-Based User Authentication System.
• Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along
the scalp through measuring voltage fluctuations accompanying
neurotransmission activity within the brain.
• It has unique usability advantages over other types of brain signal recording
technologies. It is easy to use, portable and inexpensive.
 An EEG-Based User Authentication System.
• Traditional biometric traits, such as faces ,fingerprints ,voiceprints, and
irises are widely used.
• However, most of these traits are easy to steal because of their exposure to
the external world.
• For example, face features can be extracted from the user’s photos and
fingerprints can be easily forged from the things that the user touches.
• EEGs can be a novel biometric trait because an individual’s neural activity
pattern is unique and imitating one’s mind is impossible
• This trait can change the traditional notion of “pass-word” into the “pass-
thought”.
• Furthermore, external pressure will significantly influence EEG signals.
Thus, if a user is forced to enter the password, his high stress could be
detected, stopping the access.
