Media Player Using Brain-Computer Interface is a project that enables people with motor-disabilities to interact with a computer and allows them to select a song of their choice to play it. It uses Brain-Computer Interfacing to accomplish this. It measures brain waves originating from a person’s mind with the help of an electroencephalogram (EEG). These measurements are taken with the help of electrodes attached to specific parts of the brain. Combinations of brain-wave patterns help us to analyse the mind of a person. The person with the disability is presented with the question, and given a set of options to choose from. The EEG apparatus measures the brain waves when the question is shown. These waves, when analysed, give us the correct answer. During the execution of this project, neither the necessary apparatus nor a test subject was available. Hence, this project uses a trained dataset which gives us the necessary brain-wave measurements. This will enable them to communicate with a computer, thus advancing research in the field of brain-computer interfaces. The end goal of this technology is to fully enable persons with impaired motor abilities to communicate with other human beings through a computer. This is necessary to facilitate the social inclusion of persons with motor disabilities. The technology will serve more important purposes like in case of emergencies, witnessing accidents, etc.
