The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a system based on brainwaves that can be used to translate and comprehend the innumerable activities of the brain. Brainwave refers to the bioelectric impulses invariably produced in the human brain during neurotransmission, often measured as the action potential. Moreover, BCI essentially uses the widely studied Electroencephalography (EEG) technique to capture brainwave data. Paralysis generally occurs when there is a disturbance in the central nervous system prompted by a neurodegenerative or unforeseen event. To overcome the obstacles associated with paralysis, this paper on the brainwave-assistive system is based on the BCI incorporated with Internet-of-things. BCI can be implemented to achieve control over external devices and applications. For instance, the process of cursor control, motor control, neuroprosthetics and wheelchair control, etc. In this paper, the OpenBCI Cyton-biosensing board has been used for the collection of the EEG data. The accumulated EEG data is executed subsequently to obtain control over the respective systems in real-time. Hence, it can be concluded that the experiments of the paper support the idea of controlling an interfaced system through the real-time application of EEG data.


Estimating the mental state of an individual is crucial to many applications. A quantitative measure of the confusion one faces while doing a task can be useful in determining which subtask is the most difficult. This paper thus aims to develop an algorithm to estimate the confusion score using EEG signals collected using a Neurosky Mindwave Headset. Also, a full contextual audio based confusion score is generated to improve the system's resilience. In this paper, the final algorithm is used to propose an EEG based system to enable the UI/UX testing which can help in confusion estimation and thus provide a qualitative means to measure the attention and concentration level of people which can be extended to various applications. The raw EEG data collected from the device was used to calculate the confusion score using various Machine Learning algorithms. This brain computer interface (BCI) system can be extended for calculating the confusion score of a person which can be used for various applications such as teaching, child health monitoring, suicide prevention, mental health analysis etc. The brain computer interface thus calculates the confusion score and based on the threshold value of the attention and concentration level it performs certain actions such as sending messages and alerts to emergency contacts. This is further extended to solve the problem of Usability testing in Human Computer Interaction.

<div><div><b>Objective.</b> In the traditional sense, the modeling approaches can be divided into white-box (physics-based), black-box (data-driven), and gray-box (the combination of physics-based and data-driven). Because the human brain is a black box itself, the EEG-BCI algorithm is generally a data-driven approach. It generates a black-box or gray-box (e.g., "Visualizing convolutional networks") model.

Brain Computer Interface consists of hardware and software that convert brain signals into action. It changes the nerves, muscles, and movements they produce with electro-physiological signs. The BCI cannot read the brain and decipher the thought in general. The BCI can only identify and classify specific patterns of activity in ongoing brain signals associated with specific tasks or events. EEG is the most commonly used non-invasive BCI method as it can be obtained easily compared to other methods. In this study; It will be given how EEG signals are obtained from the scalp, with which waves these frequencies are named and in which brain states these waves occur. 10-20 electrode placement plan for EEG to be placed on the scalp will be shown.

Brain-Computer Interface is the collaboration of the human brain and a device that controls the actions of a human using brain signals. Applications of brain-computer interface vary from the field of entertainment to medical. In this article, a novel Deceit Identification Test is proposed based on the Electroencephalogram signals to identify and analyze the human behavior. Deceit identification test is based on P300 signals, which have a positive peak from 300 ms to 1,000 ms of the stimulus onset. The aim of the experiment is to identify and classify P300 signals with good classification accuracy. For preprocessing, a band-pass filter is used to eliminate the artifacts. The feature extraction is carried out using “symlet” Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). Deep Neural Network (DNN) with two autoencoders having 10 hidden layers each is applied as the classifier. A novel experiment is conducted for the collection of EEG data from the subjects. EEG signals of 30 subjects (15 guilty and 15 innocent) are recorded and analyzed during the experiment. BrainVision recorder and analyzer are used for recording and analyzing EEG signals. The model is trained for 90% of the dataset and tested for 10% of the dataset and accuracy of 95% is obtained.

Summary Objectives: In this paper, we explored the use of quadratic classifiers based on Mahalanobis distance to detect mental EEG patterns from a reduced set of scalp recording electrodes. Methods: Electrodes are placed in scalp centro-parietal zones (C3, P3, C4 and P4 positions of the international 10-20 system). A Mahalanobis distance classifier based on the use of full covariance matrix was used. Results: The quadratic classifier was able to detect EEG activity related to imagination of movement with an affordable accuracy (97% correct classification, on average) by using only C3 and C4 electrodes. Conclusions: Such a result is interesting for the use of Mahalanobis-based classifiers in the brain computer interface area.

As an emerging technology, brain-computer interface (BCI) bring us a novel communication channel which translate brain activities into command signals for devices like computer, prosthesis, robots, and so forth. The aim of the brain-computer interface research is to improve the quality life of patients who are suffering from server neuromuscular disease. This paper focus on analyzing the different characteristics of the brainwaves when a subject responses “yes” or “no” to auditory stimulation questions. The experiment using auditory stimuli of form of asking questions is adopted. The extraction of the feature adopted the method of common spatial patterns(CSP) and the classification used support vector machine (SVM) . The classification accuracy of "yes" and "no" answers achieves 80.2%. The experiment result shows the feasibility and effectiveness of this solution and provides a basis for advanced research .
