Adaptive Brain Interface

Abstract

In simple words ABI can be defined as a human computer interface that accepts voluntary commands directly from the brain. The central aim of ABI is to extend the capabilities of physically impaired people. The brain-computer interface provides new ways for individuals to interact with their environment. The computer will continue to be a necessary component as long as detecting a brain response reliably remains a complex analytical task. In most cases, the brain response itself is not new, just the means of detecting it and applying it as a control. However, the necessary feedback associated with experimental trials frequently resulted in improved, or at least changed performance. Little is known about the long-term effects of such training either from an individual difference, or from a basic human physiology point of view.
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that acquires and analyzes neural (brain) signals with the goal of creating a high bandwidth communications channel directly between the brain and the computer. The objective of the ABI project is to use EEG signals as an alternative means of interaction with computers. As such, the goal is to develop a brain-actuated mouse.
