Brain computer interface (BCI) is a collaboration between a brain and a computer. Using BCI it is possible to use brain signals to direct some external activity, such as control of a cursor or some home appliance. This is useful forpeople who find it difficult to operate devices using normal muscular body parts. The proposed system, called Thought Controlled Automation, makes use of the concept of BCI and aims to control home appliances with the help of Human Attention and Meditation Levels which comes under non-invasive method of brain signal measurement. A NeuroSky Mindwave headset is used for capturing the brain waves. Inside the headset is a NeuroSky chip that gives the two values viz. attention and meditation values to an Arduino Mega controller. The Mega sends commands to an Arduino Uno and a Leonardo. The Uno controls a robot and a home appliance while the Leonardo controls the cursor on a PC.
