OpenBCI
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology facilitates a direct connection between the brain and external devices by interpreting neural signals. It is critical to have datasets that contain patient's native languages while developing BCI-based solutions for neurological disorders. However, present BCI research lacks appropriate language-specific datasets, particularly for languages such as Telugu, which is spoken by more than 90 million people in India.

Problems of neurodegenerative disorder patients can be solved by developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based solutions. This requires datasets relevant to the languages spoken by patients. For example, Marathi, a prominent language spoken by over 83 million people in India, lacks BCI datasets based on the language for research purposes. To tackle this gap, we have created a dataset comprising Electroencephalograph (EEG) signal samples of selected common Marathi 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.
