Abstract:

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is wide range of system were signal generated by the human brain is transformed into commands/messages that are communicated via computer or robotic limb to the outside world. In the presented research here, Motor Imagery based Brain Computer Interface (MI-BCI) to control the prosthetic hand is proposed. The hand features an electric motor and an angle mechanism to deliver haptic feedback and enable local machine control. With the utilization of this system, participants demonstrated the capacity to regulate the grasp of the prosthesis with an accuracy close to that of the control scheme. The SVM classification algorithm is employed to interpret and transmit commands for operating the prostheses. Utilizing model predictions as commands for device control and other Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) applications, real-time brain signal input has been incorporated into the user interface. Based on the conducted pragmatic study, Random Forest delivers better efficiency in terms of accuracy in comparison to other machine learning classifiers.

I. Introduction

Recent studies, including reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), indicate that approximately 15% of the global population face some form of disability, with half lacking access to necessary healthcare [1]. Economic and scientific factors contribute to a rising prevalence of amputees and individuals with limb dysfunction. Worldwide, there are around 10 million amputees, with 30% specifically being arm amputees [2]. Despite the critical role of rehabilitation in overall well-being, its importance is often overlooked. In many low and middle-income countries, almost 50% of individuals do not receive the necessary rehabilitation services [3]. Current prosthetic solutions fall short in terms of speed, functionality, and flexibility, contributing to inadequate support for those in need [4].
