The limitations of conventional interfaces between humans and machines impose significant barriers, especially for those with severe motor disabilities. In this scenario, innovation is needed to provide effective and inclusive communication.
The invention presents an advanced process and device for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). This solution offers an alternative communication channel, using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to translate specific mental activities into functional commands. The practical application ranges from the control of mobile robots to electromechanical devices, promoting a revolution in human-machine interaction.
The interface uses electrodes to collect electrical signals from the brain. These signals are then analyzed by a computer, which classifies them into four different mental activities: imagining moving the feet, the tongue, the left arm or the right arm. The computer then sends a corresponding command to the robot.
