MindLogger: a brain-computer interface for word building using brainwaves

Abstract

In this paper, we collect electrical signals emitted from the brain during its normal function, specifically from a single electrode placed over the frontal lobe of the brain, to provide an interface for communication without any physical movement. The systems intended audience includes stroke victims and people with paralysis and other advanced neurologic impairments. The presented MindLogger system is a practical, cost-effective, and noninvasive solution that enables people to select letters, compile words, and create sentences by employing only their electroencephalogram (EEG) activity, alongside existing capabilities in mobile computing.
