Wireless Brain Controlled Interface.

The wireless Brain Controlled Interface (BCI) is a proposed model to facilitate the operation of devices and machineries around us by simply thinking. The main aim of this device is to aid the physically disabled and injured people to be able to perform basic tasks such as walking, making a phone call, and driving, even after being a victim of spinal cord injury.

BCI will aid surgeons in performing cancer operations more accurately and effectively causing minimum harm to healthy tissues. How is this possible? Thanks to nano-technology which makes it possible to scale large objects such as a surgical knife, measured in inches or centimeters to nano-meters. While it is almost impossible to hold a nano-scale object and cut something with it, a robotic arm will be an effective solution. The BCI can be syncronized with the robotic arm via WiFi and thus allowing the surgeon to be able to control the surgical blade by his thoughts. This takes away the limitation of the human eye sight, which is only capable of seeing in the optical scale and not nano-scale.

Also, a significant amount of a surgeon's success lies in his or her ability to cordinate the hand and eye, but this varies from one individual to another. But if a BCI is used in this case, the surgeon will only have to look through the lens of the goggles and decide which tissue should be removed. However, the effective identification of the cancerous cells comes from the help of gold nano-particles, which enable surgeons to identify the cancerous cells in the body of a patient.

Below are the images of what the proposed BCI will look like and its application.
