A Conceptual Model for Mobile Interaction using Brain Computer Interface

Abstract

Interacting with mobiles and portable devices using brain waves has become a reality with the recent advances in the brain-computer interfaces (BCI) development. Today’s BCI technology that provides portable headsets with wireless connectivity and supports multiple platforms, has paved path to many researches developing applications using those headsets on Android platforms. The common scenario however, although those BCI applications are installed on Android devices, the users can only interact with those dedicated BCI applications, but no other. In this study, a conceptual applications model has been proposed, as an alternative, for mobile interaction using BCI to allow a user to interact with operating system rather than interacting with only one dedicated application.
