Abstract: A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) serves as an intermediary between the brain and a computer. Its main objective is to enable physically challenged individuals to restore their movement capabilities. BCI-based home automation enables users to control their home environment through direct communication with a computer or other devices using brain signals. Among the various types of brain signals (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Theta, and Delta), only Alpha waves are taken into consideration, which generate waves of different frequencies. The brain sensor receives the signal generated by the brain, which is then divided into packets and transmitted wirelessly (via WiFi) to the controller. The wave measuring unit receives the raw data of the brainwave, converts it into a signal, and transmits it to the brain sensors. By utilizing the MATLAB GUI platform, the patient can control home applications through the skin movement of eye blinking. The project assumes the operation of the human brain and movement to the working/non-working condition of home appliances.
