Abstract
Since the beginning of time man has lost and he has come up with a way to replace. This can be items, food, love, and even limbs. It is only natural for an individual who had lost some form of motor movement or sensory cogitation that they would want to replace it, and this is where modern medical technology comes into play. Over time prostheses have developed from wooden peg legs and hook hands, to motor operated bipedal legs and pneumatic powered arms. This project aims to take it one step further. Our goal is to give those who an arm a prostheses that works by human thought. This type of process has already been accomplished as early as 2004 by the Braingate lab at Brown University. However this method has not been perfected and we aim to achieve a fully functional non-invasive (EEG based) BCI, which has not been fully developed yet. A non-invasive claim can both cut down on safety hazards of having surgery and can be a wireless integration. The only prostheses that can be used is myoelectric, which is costly, but if it is integrated with a non-invasive BCI, cost can be caught down 10 fold.
