The main objective is develop Human Brain Hypothermia Detection system, thermoelectric hypothermic wearable helmet and to develop a Respiratory Manipulation oxygen mask that is capable of detecting breathing activities and indicating breathing rate, intensity and apnea. Brain hypothermia treatment (BHT) is efficient in decompressing the intracranial hypertension in neurosurgery.

conduction, and cellular action potential firing in a sequential manner and plays a critical role in determining characteristics of EEG. Upon the restoration of normal oxygen supply, recovery of neurons is contingent upon the severity and duration of ischemia. The features of the EEG power spectrum during recovery are known to be indicative of the course and extent of recovery. Thus, the information content of the EEG is expected to include a more direct assessment of the neuroprotective effect of hypothermia[1]. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is the system which captures and decodes the brain signal in order to transform the human intentions directly into actions. This helps the paralyzed, brain injured, and spinal cord injured patient to restore their abilities, particularly in communication, wheelchair

IV.BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE Contemporary views about the nature and origins of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and evoked responses (ER’s) are presented. However, a brief review is given below of those characteristics of the signal that are most relevant to the present discussion.EEG signals, collected on the humans clap are fluctuations of electrical

The spontaneous respiratory simulation is one main task of medical patient simulator. Based on the principle of breath, muscle pressure as source power is input into the breath system. Breath system is simulated as two lumped compartments, airway resistance and compliance. The output of the breath system is the flow of respiratory. Compared to the former method that two parameters (R and C) are used as linear coefficient, we avoided the oversimplifications inherent in previous models, namely linear treatment of the breathing mechanics. Nonlinear resistance is used in
