Abstract

Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Brain- The Master of our body generates signals in accord with our thoughts and decrees every part to perform the desired actions. This paper is a boon to the amputees since it can decrease their encumber. This paper targets in trapping the signals by the use of Brain wave sensor (Sensors that are attached to the scalp in order to monitor the Brain Wave activity in different parts of the brain) and feed the signals to the so designed artificial hand. Adroit limb is different from the already existing ones. It can encompass activities like peeling; feel things as our normal human hand. The existing models can provide only support but the proposed prototype for this paper can respond to External Stimulus. Brain waves are obtained from a special analysis of EEG (Electro Encephalo Gram). These brain waves show us the brain's response to an external stimulus or event. Brain activity before, during, and after a stimulus presentation is recorded. This allows us to observe where, when, and how the brain responds to a given stimulus. The need for an artificial hand plays a very important role in the life of Amputees and physically challenged. Such people are given an external attachment of an artificial hand which gives a look similar to that of a normal hand which cannot perform all the desired acts. The existing models cannot stimulate actions as per our thought. The signals are directly obtained from the brain without any pre existing sensor for this purpose. The problems faced by the amputees are also increasing day by day. The proposed prototype is a panacea for all such problems faced by them to a greater extent.
