To address the challenges faced by patients with neurodegenerative disorders, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) solutions are being developed. However, many current datasets lack inclusion of languages spoken by patients, such as Telugu, which is spoken by over 90 million people in India. To bridge this gap, we have created a dataset comprising Electroencephalograph (EEG) signal samples of commonly used Telugu words. Using the Open-BCI Cyton device, EEG samples were captured from volunteers as they pronounced these words.

In today’s context, it is essential to develop technologies to help older patients with neurocognitive disorders communicate better with their caregivers. Research in Brain Computer Interface, especially in thought-to-text translation has been carried out in several languages like Chinese, Japanese and others. However, research of this nature has been hindered in India due to scarcity of datasets in vernacular languages, including Malayalam. Malayalam is a South Indian language, spoken primarily in the state of Kerala by bout 34 million people.
