Union of Brain Computer Interface and Internet of Things: An Integrated Platform to Enhance Cognitive Interaction in Real-time

Abstract

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a platform which receives brain signals, measures and analyses them, providing a pathway for the human brain to interact with external utilities in real-time. It is entirely independent of the normal output of peripheral nerves and muscles. On the other hand, with the exposure of Internet of Things, the concept of connectivity of devices has evolved. The number of connected devices is expected to grow phenomenally across multiple industries, thereby boosting productivity and efficiency in coming years. This paper elaborates the procedure of developing a system merging Brain Computer interface and internet of things, the possible applications of human-thing cognitive interactivity and the challenges we face while working with it.
