BCI-Based Home Automation

Abstract: Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology enables communication between the human brain and external devices without requiring physical interaction. This paper presents a novel, non- invasive EEG-based BCI system for smart home automation, designed to assist individuals with physical disabilities. The system uses Bio amp EXG Pill for brain signal acquisition and the Maker UNO microcontroller to interpret EEG signals and control various home appliances. By focusing on brainwave patterns such as alpha and beta waves, the prototype converts cognitive commands into control signals. Experimental results indicate promising responsiveness and accuracy, highlighting the potential for enhancing independent living through assistive BCI technologies.
