The concept is designed to improve upon the recent developed system, utilizing auditory steady state response (ASSR) as a basis for the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) paradigm. It utilizes the classification of signals through a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) before the actual transmission to reduce overhead at the processing system. The electroencephalogram (EEG) obtained from the subject is through a p300 based EEG receivers. A compression algorithm is used to reduce the bandwidth usage and provide a quicker transmission of the large and continuous EEG. An Arduino board along with a proximity sensor is used to detect the presence and distance of the subject and consequently control playback of a single frequency audio signal, which as received by the user, is used for producing the EEG signals. A continuous focus of the user is required on the playback of the single frequency sound to produce a sizeable reading. At the receiving end, another Arduino board is installed with an SD card module, which contains the commands, responsible for the actual control of the devices. The concept can be utilized for various purposes from controlling IoT based systems to wheelchairs and hospital beds as well as bionic limbs, which however are limited due to the overall bulk of all the equipment currently required. The main aim of this paper is to propose an improvement in the transmission, reduction the latency of the signals and to provide a concept for utilization by the handicapped or physically impaired patients. Since the EEG is obtained through the inner ear of the subject, it completely eliminates any need for invasive surgery and provides a simplified solution. Developments have shown to be able to achieve over 95% of accuracy in the domain, currently limited by length of the EEG required in order to process the actual commands from the subject’s brain.

Brain Computer Interface consists of hardware and software that convert brain signals into action. It changes the nerves, muscles, and movements they produce with electro-physiological signs. The BCI cannot read the brain and decipher the thought in general. The BCI can only identify and classify specific patterns of activity in ongoing brain signals associated with specific tasks or events. EEG is the most commonly used non-invasive BCI method as it can be obtained easily compared to other methods. In this study; It will be given how EEG signals are obtained from the scalp, with which waves these frequencies are named and in which brain states these waves occur. 10-20 electrode placement plan for EEG to be placed on the scalp will be shown.
