Review On: Smart Home for Disabled Using Brain-Computer Interfaces

Abstract

Advance technologies such as brain imaging have started to provide us with the power to interface with human brain directly through some sensors. These sensors have the ability to monitorsome of thephysical processes that occur within the brain that correspond with certain formsof thought. In these systems, users explicitlymanipulate their brain activity instead of using motor movements to produce signalsthat can beused to control computers or communication devices.

The future of home automation is moving forward towards the development of ideal smart home environment.. Home automation system has also been designed for certain situations in which someone needs a special attention such as old age person, sick patients, and handicapped person.BCI in humans has used scalp-recorded electroencephalography or intracranial electrocardiography. The use of brain signals obtained directly from stereotactic depth electrodes to control a BCI has not previously been explored.

In this paper, I present a smart home automation system using braincomputer interface.The scope of this research work will include the control and monitoring system for home appliances from Graphical User Interface (GUI) using braincomputer interface that use an input source and being controlled wirelessly. The research methodology involved is application of knowledge in the field of radio frequency communication, microcontroller and computer programming. Finally, the result will be observed and analyzed to obtain better solution in the future.
