I have been researching into communication interfaces for patients with
traumatic brain damage, who are non-verbal and motor impaired. The signals for
communications are obtained by attaching probes externally to the scalp or
internally to the neurons of the patients and picking up brain waves
(Electroencephalalography or EEG), muscles (Electromyography or EEG) and eye
movements (Electrooculargraphy or EOG) signals at the forehead.
These signals
are then fed into an amplifier and then to the serial port, so the computer just
sees the brain body interface as a cursor, control.
My research helps this group of patients communicate by special interfaces,
which uses sophisticated input algorithm. I am also working on a robotic
interface to help this group to perform simple tasks. I also have research
interest in self-healing and dynamic and distributed systems, mobile agents and
simulating and modelling, brain functions.
My research group is Parallel & Distributed Systems Research Group
I also team up with Jennifer George to research in multimedia based speech therapy.
