OBJECTIVE
21 million people in India 2.1% of the total population Immobility totals to 61,05,477 Unable to execute their daily chores Develop a prosthetic model Utilises the brain signals to activate Replace the impaired part Model a cost effective solution

EXISTING TECHNIQUES
A testing of brain activated prosthetic hand used to pick a cup was done at a cost of Rs.5,00,000 in US Testing of neuron activated daily chores is performed and research is carried on to improve it A lower extremity prosthesis (leg) can minimum cost to Rs.2,90,000 An upper extremity device (arm) can range from Rs.1,34,000

BCI &UNITS OF PROJECT

Brain Computing Interface (BCI) :
System able to detect and interpret the mental activity Changes it to computer interpretable signals Activities completed without using muscular movement

Units of project:
Brain signal capturing unit Signal processing unit Controller unit Actuator and hand unit

BASIC CONCEPTS OF EEG CAPTURING

EEG CAPTURING

NORMALISATIO N
SEGMENT DETECTION

FEATURE EXTRACTION CLASSIFIER

EEG OUTPUT

Brain signals are of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gama form Application of DCT and Butterworth filters Original signal is multiplied with window function and transform is computed for each segment Size of wavelet depends on frequency components used in the series

CONDITIONED BRAIN SIGNAL

Signals are captured using EEG cap Signals filtered to eliminate noises and other signals To improve the signal quality conditioning is done Patternisation is done to segregate the signals based on the output to be initiated Patternised data is compressed to provide minimum storage area

SCHEDULE OF WORK
June : Selection of topic and basic feasibility of project was analyzed July : Theoretical study of the project August : Software simulation of the project September : Designing of artificial hand October : Testing the working of hand December : Real time brain signals capturing and its processing January : Integrating brain signals and artificial hand February : Testing and debugging the project March : Final makeover of the project and report formulation

CONCLUSION
The various project development techniques and study of the existing methodology of the project has been done. The theoretical concepts related to the project has been collected. A software necessary for processing the brain signals has been studied and work is to be proceeded by analyzing the brain signal data set using the software and filters for segregating thoughts are to be designed and constructed.
