Dhaka, Feb. 18 -- Science fiction emerged as a reality by paving the way for human-robot communication and developing robot functionalities utilising brain waves. Using human brain impulses to operate robots has advanced technology by integrating computer engineering, electrical engineering, and BCI.

Even as an experimental technique, brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have expanded the possibilities for helping paralysed individuals reclaim control of their limbs.

The concept of controlling an object using brain waves became a reality in 1988 when electroencephalogram (EEG) brain impulses were utilised to drive a robot. The most frequent approach is the Emotiv Epoc EEG Headset, which makes the electrodes on the scalp distinguishable.
