IIST BCI Dataset-7 for Human Space Missions

We developed a unique and valuable dataset specifically for advancing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems by recording brain activity from a dedicated volunteer. The participant was asked to pronounce 100 carefully selected Malayalam words, along with their English translations, which were chosen for their relevance to astronauts during human space missions. The volunteer pronounced these words both vocally and subvocally, each word being repeated 50 times. Non-invasive Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors were employed to capture the brain activity associated with these tasks. This dataset holds significant potential for the future development of BCI applications, especially in enhancing communication for astronauts in space and offering innovative solutions for individuals with speech or motor impairments. By facilitating communication in challenging environments, this dataset could lead to groundbreaking advances in both space exploration and assistive technology.
