Abstract [English]

Every discovery is geared towards problem solving. This is manifested by the advent of brain computer interface (BCI). Brain computer interface (BCI) is a field of study concern with the detection and utilization of brain signals in establishing the communication path between the brain and the computer system. The knowledge of this science has helped in no small measure in providing solutions to several challenges befalling man and his environment. In this paper, we explored those areas where BCI has proved useful and pointed out as well its possible application in diagnosis of stroke disease. The discourse was centered on detection of electrochemical signals from the brain called electroencephalogram (EEG). The research work also highlighted the technique of recording brain activity via electroencephalogram and using it in making deduction on the status of stroke attack on individual. This can either be normal or abnormal. The presence of delta or theta wave in an awaked adult suggests an abnormal situation. While the observance of alpha, beta and gamma waves are interpreted as normal.
