A memory stimulating brain-computer interface

Abstract

In the current existing technology, literally everything is digital and machines are built and tuned to understand and respond to human gestures. In this paper, the human computer interaction platform is used for the treatment of the disorders, SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS andANTEROGRADE AMNESIA. Victims of these disorders tend to forget stuffs after a short interval of time, but they have the ability to recover the lost memory and remember things, when a picture or a story or a scene relating to the lost memory incident is portrayed to them. This paper presents an idea of building a brain-computer interface to help the victims recover their lost memory by the visualization of the previously happened incident in a virtual frame. According to the theory proposed, the signals are extracted using Electroencephalography and conditioned for use in real world. These signals are stored in a processor and fed back to the brain to create a virtual vision so that the lost memory can be induced. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
