ABSTRACT
As the power of modern computers grows alongside our
understanding of the human brain, we move ever closer to making
some pretty spectacular science fiction into reality. Imagine
transmitting signals directly to someone's brain that would allow them
to see, hear or feel specific sensory inputs. Consider the potential to
manipulate computers or machinery with nothing more than a
thought. It isn't about convenience, for severely disabled people,
development of a brain-computer interface (BCI) could be the most
important technological breakthrough in decades.
A Brain-computer interface, sometimes called a direct neural
interface or a brain-machine interface, is a direct communication
pathway between a brain and an external device. It is the ultimate in
development of human-computer interfaces or HCI. BCIs being the
recent development in HCI there are many realms to be explored.
After experimentation three types of BCIs have been developed
namely Invasive BCIs, Partially-invasive BCIs, Non-invasive BCIs.

Systems capable of understanding the different facets of
human communication and interaction with computers are
among trends in Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI). An HCI
