Abstract :
The increasing number of signal processing tools for highly parallel neurophysiological recordings opens up new avenues for connecting technologies directly to neuronal processes. As the understanding is taking a better shape, lot more work to perform is coming up. A simple brain-machine interface may be able to reestablish the broken loop of the persons with motor dysfunction. With time the brain-machine interfacing is growing more complex due to the increased availability of instruments and processes for implementation. In this work, as a proof-of-principle we established a brain-machine interface through a few simple processes to control a robotic device using the alpha wavepsilas event-related synchronization and event-related de-synchronization extracted from EEG.
