BRAIN MACHINE INTERFACE
WITH DIAMOND CHIP CIRCUTING
Who here has seen this movie?
How wazzat?
What about this?
Contents
• Introduction to Brain Machine Interface(BMI)• Types of BMI• Introducing Diamond Chip• CNT & its properties• CNT on BMI • Combined Applications• Overview• Conclusion
What is Brain Machine Interface?
• A Brain Machine Interface(BMI) is a collaboration in which a brian accepts and controls a mechanical device as a natural part of its representation of the body.
• It translates the brain signals to codes of programing languages
• Research in 1970s at UCLA mainly on animals
The reason for BMI
• There are more than 200,000 people in the United States with severely impaired motor skills.
• Two ways to restore functions–Repair the damaged nerve axons–Build neuro -prosthetic devices
Process of BMI
• Patients attach electrodes to their scalp with a conductive gel on the skull
• Or surgery to implant chip on brains surface
Process Continued
• Presented patients with a 6x6 matrix, that contains each letter of the alphabet and numbers 0-9
• Brain elicits P300 and is recorded by electroencephalograph (EEG)
Types of BMI
Invasive BMI
• Implants the computer chip into user’s brain cortex to record electrical waves
• Retrieves information quickly and clearly
• Invasive BMI faces substantial difficulties and entail significant clinical risks
Noninvasive BMI
• Places the BMI on the user’s scalp to record electricity waves
• Slight delay (300-600 ms)• Less dangerous and risky• Used for basic
communication and control amputee arm
How BMI works?
• Brain is made out of neurons• Brain detects and translates
the signal of brain to tangible action
• Same principle different clearness
• More accurate signal detection from invasive BMI
What is diamond chip?
In a single definition, Diamond Chip or Carbon Chip is an Electronic Chip manufactured on a diamond structure Carbon wafer
How is it Possible ?
Diamond structural carbon is non conducting in nature.
To make it conducting, doping process is performed.
Boron-- as the p-type. Nitrogen--as the n-type.
Some facts… Carbon is not a semiconductor. Some of the carbon allotropes
acts as semiconductor.

What is carbon nanotube?
Just fold the graphene sheet into a tube like structureIt is a nanosize cylinder of carbon atoms.It has less than one nanometer diameter.
Fig:Carbon nanotubes made step by step.Fig :View of
CNT.
Properties of CNT
• Properties– Hardness– Strength– Electrical– Thermal– One-dimensional transport
Properties…
• HARDNESS : It can withstand a
pressure up to 24GPa without deformation.
• STRENGTH : Carbon nanotubes are
the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered in terms of tensile strength and elastic modulus respectively.
Properties…
• ELECTRICAL : High electrical conductivity
(10-6 ohm). Do not suffer from electro
migration or atomic diffusion and thus can carry high current densities (107 -109 A/cm2 ),which is 1000 times that of copper.
Both metal and semiconductor can be formed.
Properties…
THERMAL :The temperature stability of
carbon nanotubes is estimated to be up to 2800 °C in vacuum and about 750 °C in air.
ONE DIMENTIONAL TRANSPORT :Because of the nanoscale
dimensions, electrons propagate only along the tube's axis.
Carbon nanotubes are frequently referred to as “one-dimensional”

ADVANTAGES
• Smaller components are possible.
• It works at higher temperature.
• Faster than silicon chips.
• Larger power handling capacity.
..OF DIMOND CHIP OVER SILICON CHIP
We could replac ethe “Silicon” circuits of ordinary BMI chip by “Diamond”
How can we Apply CNT into BMI
Present Developments:
• BMI for Tereaplegics• Brain controlled Robot • ‘BRAINGATE’ BMI• ATR HONDA’s new BCIBCI2000
APPLICATIONS
BMI in Rehabilitation
• Allows brain-induced movement of prosthetics• Movement (i.e. wheelchairs)
BMI in Daily Life
• Control house system– Lock door– Turn on and off stove– Turn on lights– Adjust room temperature
• Control personal computer– Play game– Pick music– Make document– Send e-mail
Possible Future BMI uses in Daily Life• Communication with others• Thought storage and enhancement• Remote access to appliances and household functions. • Commercial BMI devices which allow users to form conscious
connections with mobile phones, PCs, and even their dreams which can be recorded in their entirety.
OverviewThis new product can help:• Amputees regain limb control therefore limiting their reliance on
others. • Blind people regain some of their sight back.• Enhance military performance
Potential use of BMI:• Communication with others• Thought storage and enhancement• Remote access to appliances and household functions. • Commercialization of BMI devices
