As the communication technology developed it cultivated the threats of information security, on the other hand physically challenged people have no possibility to communicate freely hence the urge for development in the field of communication is necessary in present scenario. Aim of this work is to propose a system that improves the present communication system. Here we had put forward the concept of Brain Mobile Interface (BMI) from the basis of Brain Computer Interface (BCI). BMI serves as a device to translate human thoughts about speech without the need of physical movement. Wireless EEG headsets are used to acquire the speech signals directly from the brain and after signal processing it is given to the mobile which consist of inbuilt speller application. With the help of speller application the message to be conveyed is acquired as text which is then converted into speech by means of text to speech converter.

Artificial speech synthesizer control by brain-computer interface
We developed and tested a brain-computer interface for control of an artificial speech synthesizer by an individual with near complete paralysis. This neural prosthesis for speech restoration is currently capable of predicting vowel formant frequencies based on neural activity recorded from an intracortical microelectrode implanted in the left hemisphere speech motor cortex. Using instantaneous...
متن کاملReal-Time Control of an Articulatory-Based Speech Synthesizer for Brain Computer Interfaces
Restoring natural speech in paralyzed and aphasic people could be achieved using a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) controlling a speech synthesizer in real-time. To reach this goal, a prerequisite is to develop a speech synthesizer producing intelligible speech in real-time with a reasonable number of control parameters. We present here an articulatory-based speech synthesizer that can be contro...
متن کاملMotor induced suppression of the N100 ERP during motor-imagery while controlling a speech synthesizer brain-computer interface
In this study, we demonstrate a motor induced suppression of the N100 auditory event related potential while using a motor-imagery brain-computer interface with instantaneous auditory feedback of synthesized speech. Specifically, active listening during motor imagery with synthesized speech feedback yielded an N100 response with less magnitude than when listening to synthesized speech alone. Ev...
متن کاملUsing Motor Imagery to Control Brain-Computer Interfaces for Communication
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) as assistive devices are designed to provide access to communication, navigation, locomotion and environmental interaction to individuals with severe motor impairment. In the present paper, we discuss two approaches to communication using a non-invasive BCI via recording of neurological activity related to motor imagery. The first approach uses modulations of the...
متن کاملRobust articulatory speech synthesis using deep neural networks for BCI applications
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) usually propose typing strategies to restore communication for paralyzed and aphasic people. A more natural way would be to use speech BCI directly controlling a speech synthesizer. Toward this goal, a prerequisite is the development a synthesizer that should i) produce intelligible speech, ii) run in real time, iii) depend on as few parameters as possible, and ...
