Control of Physical Objects Utilizing Brain Computer Interfaces

Abstract

<p>Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) are a rapidly growing and expanding field. BCIs are capable of creating an interface between the human brain and a computer. This paper lays out the required background knowledge to work with a BCI. It attempts to answer the question ”Can a BCI be used to control a set of real work objects?”. To do so, common methods of BCI were analyzed to create a reliable BCI. Then, an architecture was designed to allow for this BCI to be easily expanded to include functionality with as many devices as possible. The architecture developed as well as the logic and rationale behind it is laid out within this paper.</p>
