Project Title

Design and implementation of a low-cost single-channel, EEG prototype

Project Area of Specialization NeuroTechProject Summary

Project Summary:

                                 The advancement of hardware and signal processing tools enabled the use of brain waves for communication between humans and computers. Our aim is to develop a very simple and cheap EEG device able to measure electrical activity of brain which can help person to control different electronic devices using Brain Computer Interface (BCI). Commercial EEG devices are costly depending on the complexity of the instrumentation. We shall design and implement a low-cost, single-channel, EEG device while preserving a sufficient level of accuracy.

Project Objectives

Project Objectives:

• To develop device able to measure electrical activity of brain
• Help person to control different electronic devices using Brain Computer Interface (BCI)
• Design a device which gives us functional data that can be used to control multiple electronics devices
• To develop a cost-effective device

Project Implementation Method

Initially we shall design a circuit diagram to extract the signals from the brain using electrodes and implement on hardware to test it. Then we shall observe the output taken from the circuit and design filters to filter out the noise and amplify signals to get useful outputs from the circuit.

Benefits of the Project
