A Brain Computer Interface provides a new communication channel between
human brain and the computer. This creates a new paradigm for creating an
application. This work presents a framework and architecture that can help
the development of application using BCI. This report shows the experience
in designing and developing an application prototype using BCI framework
and brainwaves. This application involves eye events signals such as eye
blinking. The user can blink their eyes to navigate through pages or to know
the meaning of a particular word. This application can be especially used
for paralyzed patients as a text reader.
The device tested during the course of the project is the Neurosky Mind- wave Headset, which is an electro-encephalograph (EEG) recording device
available in market. It enables the measuring of brain activity using one
strategically placed dry electrode sensor. Brain activity is recorded non- invasively and is sufficient to control the application. bookread
