Abstract
A computing device that enables user interaction when the user is in a mentally debilitating state includes a memory configured to store electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform signals. The EEG waveform signals are generated by associated recognition data. Response data is generated based on the associated recognition data and stored in memory. An input component is configured to receive an EEG waveform signal from a user. A processor is configured to compare the received EEG waveform signal with the stored EEG waveform signals to determine if the received EEG waveform signal matches a stored EEG waveform signal. An output component is configured to automatically output the response data generated by the associated recognition data based on the determination from the processor.

A computing device that enables user interaction with persons, when the user is in a mentally debilitating state, comprising:
- a memory storing electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform signals, associated recognition data and response data, wherein the stored EEG waveform signals have been generated by use of the associated recognition data, and wherein the response data is generated based on the associated recognition data;
- an input component configured to receive an EEG waveform signal from the user;
- a processer configured to compare the received EEG waveform signal with the stored EEG waveform signals and to determine that the received EEG waveform signal matches a stored EEG waveform signal;
- and
- an output component configured to automatically output the response data which was generated based on the associated recognition data and is associated with the stored EEG waveform signal based on the determination from the processor.
A method for enabling user interaction with persons when the user is in a mentally debilitating state, comprising:
- storing electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform signals, associated recognition data and response data, wherein the stored EEG waveform signals have been generated by use of the associated recognition data, and wherein the response data is generated based on the associated recognition data;
- receiving an EEG waveform signal from a user;
- comparing the received EEG waveform signal with the stored EEG waveform signals;
- determining that the received EEG waveform signal matches a stored EEG waveform signal;
- and
- automatically outputting the response data which was generated based on the associated recognition data and is associated with the stored EEG waveform signal based on the determining step.
