Internet of Brain: Decoding Human Intention and Coupling EEG Signals With Internet Services

摘要

Films such as Robocop, The Matrix, and Pacific Rim have explored the possibilities of using Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to control machines with only thought. In this paper, we enhance the power of thought through a novel method of combining the powers of the brain wave, the most influential signal in the human body, and the wide range of information found on the internet during today's digital age. Because brain wave signals are affected by human thought, certain patterns of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can be associated with specific actions or ideas. By analyzing these characteristics of brain wave signals through powerful EEG capturing devices, we were able to create a user interface where a human can have access to a variety of internet services, including search results, social media and IFTTT, by merely thinking of or focusing on a word or phrase on a computer screen.
