Tanveer i think if we research more into this field we would be able to come up with better neural controlled prosthetics.

# data[].attributes.body
i think this technology will provide a hassel free way to lead life for all those people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea implementation of the technology in prosthetics and restoration of movement is really impressive.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think that the usage of BCI will be very effective for the patients of neurological disorders, who have difficulty or inability in controlling their limbs or other organs.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Tanveer that the miltary applications of the BMI technology would be very promising.

# data[].attributes.body
Aditya, I think the application in military is feasible and innovative.

# data[].attributes.body
The target audience for my survey is patients suffering from NPH

The new words that i learnt during my assignment are:

1. EEG: Electroencephalography is the process of recording brain elecrical signals over a period of time.

2. CVA: cereberal vascular accident is the sudden death of brain cells because of less blood supply.

3. hyperplane: In geometry a hyperplane is a subspace of one dimension less than its ambient space. If a space is 3-dimensional then its hyperplanes are the 2-dimensional planes, while if the space is 2-dimensional, its hyperplanes are the 1-dimensional lines.

4. EMG: electromyography is the process of recording skeletal muscle activity.

5.MEG: Magnetoencephalography is a nueralimaging technique use to map magnetic fields produced by brain.

The applications of Neuromechanics are

1.Biochemical model of brain for treatment of Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a major neurological disorder.

2.Adaptive and energy efficient walking in a hexapod robot under neuromechanical control.

3.Ameliorating human health problems (including prosthesis design and restoration of movement following brain or spinal cord injury)

# data[].attributes.body
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are biological neural networks that produce rhythmic patterned outputs without sensory feedback. CPGs have been shown to produce rhythmic outputs resembling normal "rhythmic motor pattern production" even in isolation from motor and sensory feedback from limbs and other muscle targets.

# data[].attributes.body
Tanveer, can you tell me what exactly a CPG is?

# data[].attributes.body
The technology of my interest has mostly medicinal applications, with the benefit going to the patients of neural disorders like paralysis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other diseases in which patients lose their control over their organs.

# data[].attributes.body
The main areas in which the technology can be applied are-

1.Nuclear sector: for regular work with no human intervention.

2.Heavy industries: For operating big machines while humans remain in secure locations

3. Medical usage: people with disabilities can work easily in industries with help of this technology

4. Military: Development of exosuits that can be controlled using the technology which will allow us to use heavy guns and launchers

i came across this information during my study about gesture based robotics.

I found the research paper on science direct and came to know about SVM and EEG from youtube and other articles

# data[].attributes.body
SVM stands for Support vector machine. It is a learning model that has algorithms to recognize patterns and analyze data and from these learnings can classify new patterns into one the learned ones.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.title
How SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm works

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In this video I explain how SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm works to classify a linearly separable binary data set. The original presentation is available at http://prezi.com/jdtqiauncqww/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share

# data[].attributes.body
The original SVM algorithm was invented by Vladimir N. Vapnik and Alexey Ya. Chervonen in 1963

In 1924,Hans Berger was the first to record human brain activity by means of EEG

# data[].attributes.body
I came across this article on google Scholar as well as saw a few youtube videos regarding the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
There are technologies parallel to EEG, but they are not as effective and feasible as EEG. fMRI and fNIRS are very expensive, and fMRI is very noisy as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a collaboration between a brain and a device that enables signals from the brain to direct some external activity. Maybe this video can help you understand it better.
