An EEG Based Control System for Intelligent Wheelchair

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a brain computer interface to control an intelligent wheelchair based on EEG signals. EEG signals are collected and analysed by using Emotiv. After signal processing, the events about motor imagery are generated and the commands are designed and transmitted to intelligent wheelchair. Finally, the system realizes the motion control of the intelligent wheelchair through subject's motor imagery of left hand, right hand and legs. Besides, the events about motor imagery are expressed in the form of virtual movement as the feedback of system. The Experiment results show that the control system is feasible and has better stability. It establishes a basis of practical application for EEG control intelligent wheelchair.
