Embedded Implementation of Brain Computer Interface Concept Using FPGA

The brain computer interface (BCI) is a fast growing technology which aims to build a direct communication pathway between brain and external device. The motivation behind this concept is to restore the capabilities of humans with severe motor disabilities and improve physical easiness in life. This work aims to develop a new System on Chip (SoC) that can be used for controlling electronic devices using EEG signals under various mind set of people with disabilities. The EEG signals obtained through the electrodes are filtered using EEG filter block implemented through Verilog, extraction of useful features from it, and to perform the corresponding activity which is intended by the person with disabilities.
