Abstract The persons state (i.e., normal or depressed) are identified by monitoring the brain signal. Now, a days a normal person faces a lot of problems in their day to day life and this at one stage made them depressed. The human brain wave has alpha, beta, theta and delta frequencies. The changes in these frequencies is only responsible for changes in the person’s current state. When the alpha and delta wave is higher it indicates that the person is depressed. For analyzing these signals a device called Electroencephalogram (EEG} device is used. Depression is a common mental disorder characterized by sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite feeling tiredness and poor concentration. Here the brain wave is picked from the scalp of the person who is rest state by using silver chloride (AgCl) surface electrode and the obtained signal is given to the developed EEG device containing differential amplifier (TL072 and TL074 ) and filter containing low pass and high pass filter. And the filtered output is seen using Digital Signal Oscilloscope (DSO). The normal and the depressed persons signal is seen in the DSO. Using the difference in their amplitude and frequency the state of the person is identified. Here the state of both normal and depressed person is analyzed. Further the processor is used for the analysis of depression or normal and it is displayed using LCD display.

I. INTRODUCTION Brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment (such as an EEG), measuring electricity levels over areas of the scalp. The combination of electrical activity of the brain is commonly called a brainwave pattern, because of its cyclic, "wave-like" nature. The electrical activity in the brain will change depending on what the person is doing. For instance, the brainwaves of a sleeping person are vastly different than the brainwaves of someone wide awake. Over the years, more sensitive equipment has brought persons closer to figuring out exactly what brainwaves represent and with that, what they mean about a person's health and state of mind

II. RELATED WORK In UASN, a lot of researches have been proposed for data aggregation and data transmission based on clustering scheme to minimize energy consumption and extends the network lifetime. Ovaliadisk k et. Al. [5] proposed a new approach for better recovery of cluster head nodes in UWSN in which data dissemination protocol is responsible to distribute management command to all sensor nodes in the network and to update their configuration parameters. The author goyal n et. al. [7] proposes to design a fuzzy based clustering and aggregation technique for UWSN. In this technique the parameter residual energy, distance to sink, load and link quality are considered as input to fuzzy logic. Based on the output of fuzzy logic module, appropriate cluster heads are selected and act as aggregator nodes. Han g j et. al. [3] propose an attack resistant trust model which consists of three types of trust metrics which are link trust, data trust and node trust. During the process of trust calculation, unreliability of communication channel and mobility of underwater environment are carefully analyzed. It is used to address issue like Data forwarding, deployment and localization in UWSN under different condition. Han et. Al. [6] presented a novel KNN (k-nearest neighbor algorithm) query algorithm based on grid division routing where the connectivity of adjacent grid centers forms the itinerary. A. Types of Brain Wave The brain waves can be observed with an EEG (or an “Electroencephalograph�) a tool that allows researchers to note brain wave patterns. The five brain waves in order of highest frequency to lowest are as follows: gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta.
