ICT612 Human Factors Project: Thought-Controlled Interface Analysis

This project explores thought-controlled interfaces (BCIs), also known as brain-computer interfaces, and their potential to revolutionize various sectors. It begins with an introduction to the technology and defines BCIs as a direct communication pathway between the brain and external devices. The project then delves into the background research, explaining how the human brain functions through neuron activity and electric signals, and how BCIs collect and interpret these signals using EEG technology. The project also covers the working process of BCI, the proposed design of EEG and BCI, the functioning of BCI, and training within BCI systems, including feedback mechanisms. It also outlines the benefits and risks of BCIs, particularly in neurological rehabilitation and assistive devices, and discusses the challenges of signal processing, such as noise filtering. The project aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the technology, its applications, and its potential impacts on society, emphasizing its role in assisting individuals with motor disabilities and other neurological conditions. The project also touches on the limitations of current technologies and suggests how emerging technologies can be adapted for future use.
