BCI Controlled Strokeless Virtual Keyboard
Severe movement disorders like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a condition where a patient is awake and aware of its surrounding but unable to communicate or perform any action due to paralysis of almost every voluntary muscles in the body (with the exception of eye movements and blinking).

BCI Controlled Strokeless Virtual Keyboard
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummarySevere movement disorders like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a condition where a patient is awake and aware of its surrounding but unable to communicate or perform any action due to paralysis of almost every voluntary muscles in the body (with the exception of eye movements and blinking). The people who are suffering from severe Cerebral Palsy disorder are unable to communicate, navigate and interact with others.
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is construed as interacting with an electronic device solely with brain with the help of Electroencephalogram (EEG) Signals. Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) helps severely disabled people live a better life with a high degree of independence.
Thought control system is a possible solution as the patient don’t have to undergo any serious operations to get the artificial limbs their permanent body parts, a small size, hand held machine would make them able enough to move real world objects. To help them a system will be developed that can read signals of the brain thoughts and then processed to control home appliances, to communicate through virtual keyboard and guide a wheel chair to move in the surroundings without any human interface.
Project Objectives- To develop a low cost brain control intelligent device for immobilize person.
- To provide a mode of interaction between computer and brain.
- To develop a virtual keyboard for the mute and paralyzed persons.
- To build intellect control smart home automation system.
- An economic and cost effective solution for the problems faced by immobilizes persons.
- The system works on the brain signals for controlling the physical devices, so the paralyzed and the physically disabled people can independently do their work like switching on and off the lights and fans by their own.
- This Project offers an alternative communication path and the control system for disabled people.
Final product will be a real time low-cost brain control intelligent device for immobilize person with virtual keyboard.
