Brain computer interface (BCI) which is also known as neural-control interface (NCI), direct neural interface (DNI), mind-machine interface (MMI) or brain-machine interface (BMI). The brain computer interface is a direct communication pathway or an interactive platform between an external device and the brain. The technologies that are integrated with BCI system for capturing electrical signals which are sent by the human brain is called as Brain imaging technologies. Electroencephalography (EEG), Magneto encephalography (MEG), Electrocorticography (ECOG) and functional Magnetic Resonance (fMRI) are some of the technologies that integrated with BCI systems.
Electroencephalography (EEG) device’s traditional use as a diagnostic tool is now advanced to a range of applications that are used for monitoring stress and fatigue, as a means of communication for patient using BCI. The brain computer interface is more technology driven so it is widely used in mobile and virtual gaming industries by integrating BCI within virtual reality (VR) headsets. BCI is also used for controlling of smart home applications with high accuracy and reliability.
