Abstract:
Brain-to-Thing Communication (BTC) is a type of ubiquitous system that aims to allow the communication from the human brain to smart objects in the Internet of Things (IoT). In this way, brain commands can be used to remotely control sensing and actuation of IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a BTC system for healthcare and show the viability to develop it. We present our BTC system architecture for wheelchair users, an illustrative application example, research challenges in this domain, and we show our current development status and perspectives.
