Brain Computer Interface : A Review
Keywords:
Brain-Computer Interface, Rehabilitation, Theraphy, Brain ScienceAbstract
Many years ago there was a revolutionary question that illuminated the path for advancement of brain science, i.e., “Can the brain understand the brain? Can it understand the mind?”[1]. From that simple question to the present technological scenario numerous neurobiologists, psychologists and physiologists have come a long way. In this report we discuss the discernments from such pioneers in the brain science field and how it enabled the integration of our brain with the computer and bringing about the innovative brain-computer interface, and the results which come along with such technological in the field of rehabilitation and therapy.
