 OBJECTIVE
• A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a new communication channel between
the human brain and a digital computer.
• The ambitious goal of a BCI is environmental control for handicapped people.
• An electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain-computer interface was
connected with a Virtual Reality system in order to control a smart home
application.
• This project deals with the signals from brain.
• Different brain states are the result of different patterns of neural interaction.
These patterns lead to waves characterized by different amplitudes and
frequencies.
• The signal generated by brain was received by the brain sensor and it will
divide into packets and the packet data transmitted tthrough wireless medium.
It is converted into signal using MATLAB gui platform and sent to the home
section to operate the appliances.
 EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY
• The Embedded Technology is now in its prime and the wealth of
knowledge available is mind-blowing. Embedded technology plays a
major role in integrating the various functions associated with it.
• This proposal greatly reduces the manpower, saves time and operates
efficiently without human interference.
• This project puts forth the first step in achieving the desired target.
With the advent in technology, the existing systems are developed to
have in built intelligence.

BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE SYSTEM
 BRAINWAVES

• The root of all our thoughts, emotions and behaviours is the

communication between neurons within our brains.
• Brainwaves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from
masses of neurons communicating with each other.
• Brainwaves are detected using sensors placed on the scalp.
• Our brainwaves change according to what we’re doing and feeling.
• When slower brainwaves are dominant we can feel tired, slow,
sluggish, or dreamy.
• The higher frequencies are dominant when we feel wired, or hyper-
alert.
CLASSIFICATION
MIND WAVE SENSOR
 MIND WAVE SENSOR
• The MindWave headset turns your computer into a brain activity
monitor.
• The headset safely measures brainwave signals and monitors the
attention levels of individuals as they interact with math, memory and
pattern recognition applications.
• The forehead sensor detects electrical signals from the brain.
• The ear clip acts as a ground and reference, which filters out all of
the electrical noise from the body and the ambient environment, and
hone in on brainwaves.

LEVEL ANALYSIS PLATFORM
 MATLAB
•MATLAB is the high-level language and interactive environment
used by millions of engineers and scientists worldwide.
•It lets you explore and visualize ideas and collaborate across
disciplines including signal and image processing, communications,
control systems, and computational finance.
•MATLAB is a software development environment that offers high-
performance numerical computation, data analysis, visualisation
capabilities and application development tools.
MATLAB WINDOW
 ZIGBEE

•ZigBee is the only standards-based wireless

technology designed to address the unique needs
of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor and control
networks in just about any market.
• ZigBee can be used almost anywhere, is easy to
implement and needs little power to operate, the
opportunity for growth into new markets, as well
as innovation in existing markets, is limitless
FEATURES OF ZIGBEE
HOME APPLIANCE CONTROLLER
 PIC 16F877A
• PIC 16F877A is a family of CMOS 8-bit flash memory.
• PIC microcontrollers are RISC processors and uses Harvard
architecture.
• The main advantage of CMOS and RISC combination is low power
consumption resulting in a very small chip size with a small pin count.
• PIC Means Peripheral Interface Controller or Programmable Interface
Controller. It is a 40 Pin dual inline package. Controller operated in 5v
dc.

 POWER SUPPLY UNIT

•All electronic circuits works only in low DC voltage, so we need a

power supply unit to provide the appropriate voltage supply for
their proper functioning .
•This unit consists of transformer, rectifier, filter & regulator.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF POWER SUPPLY
 WORKING OF POWER SUPPLY
• The ac Voltage, typically 220V RMS is connected to a transformer,which
steps that ac voltage down to the level of desired dc output.
• A diode rectifier then provides a full-wave rectified voltage that is initially
filtered by a simple capacitor filter to produce a dc voltage.
• This resulting dc voltage usually has some ripple or ac voltage variation.
• A regulator circuit removes the ripples and also remains the samw dc value
even if the input dc voltage varies,or the load connected to the output dc
voltage changes.
• This voltage regulation is usually obtained using one of the popular voltage
regular IC units
 RELAY

Relay consists of two circuits

• Control circuit (1-3)
The control circuit has a small coil.
• Load circuit (2-4)
The load circuit has a switch.
 WORKING OF RELAY

• When no voltage is applied to pin 1, there is no current flow through

the coil.No current means no magnetic field is developed, and the
switch is open. When the voltage is supplied to pin 1, current flow coil
creates the magnetic field needed to close the switch allowing
continuity between pins 2 and 4.
 MPLAB IDE
• MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a free,
integrated toolset for the development of embedded applications on
Microchip's PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers.
 PROTEUS
• Proteus is a Virtual System Modelling (VSM) that combines circuit
simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to co-
simulate the complete microcontroller based designs.
• It is the perfect tool for engineers to test their microcontroller designs
before constructing a physical prototype in real time.
• This program allows the user to interact using on screen indicators, on
LED and LCD displays and if attached to the PC’s, switches and
buttons.
