Mandeep Kaur, P. Ahmed, M. Qasim Rafiq . Technology Development for Unblessed People using BCI: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 40, 1 ( February 2012), 18-24. DOI=10.5120/4920-7142
The Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems enable unblessed people to operate devices and applications through their mental activities. It is believed that the BCI technology should be a blessing for the unblessed persons who may be suffering from severe neuromuscular disorders. So in this paper, we present a review on the progress of research efforts and then we analyze the challenges in BCI research and development for unblessed people. Here, a general Electro-Encephalogram (EEG) based BCI system is discussed which can assist the paralyzed or physically or mentally challenged people in performing their various routine tasks or applications.
