Non-invasive Brain Computer Interface for Mental Control of a Simulated Wheelchair
نویسندگان
چکیده
This poster presents results obtained from experiments of driving a brain-actuated simulated wheelchair that incorporates the shared-control intelligence method. The simulated wheelchair is controlled offline using band power features. The task is to drive the wheelchair along a corridor avoiding two obstacles. We have analyzed data from 4 naïve subjects during 25 sessions carried out in two days. To measure the performance of the brain-actuated wheelchair we have compared the final position of the wheelchair with the end point of the desired trajectory. The experiments show that the incorporation of a higher intelligence level in the control device significantly helps the subject to drive the robot device.

A brain-actuated wheelchair: asynchronous and non-invasive Brain-computer interfaces for continuous control of robots.
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and robustness of an asynchronous and non-invasive EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) for continuous mental control of a wheelchair. METHODS In experiment 1 two subjects were asked to mentally drive both a real and a simulated wheelchair from a starting point to a goal along a pre-specified path. Here we only report experiments with the simulated whee...

The possibility to act upon the surrounding environment without using our human nervous system’s efferent pathways enables a new interaction modality that can boost and speed up the human sensor-effector loop. In recent years, brain-computer interface (BCI) research is exploring many applications in different fields: communication, environmental control, robotics and mobility, and neuroprosthet...
متن کاملA self-paced motor imagery based brain-computer interface for robotic wheelchair control.
This paper presents a simple self-paced motor imagery based brain-computer interface (BCI) to control a robotic wheelchair. An innovative control protocol is proposed to enable a 2-class self-paced BCI for wheelchair control, in which the user makes path planning and fully controls the wheelchair except for the automatic obstacle avoidance based on a laser range finder when necessary. In order ...

In this study, a novel control algorithm, based on a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) is fully developed to control a 2-DoF robotic arm. Eight subjects including 5 men and 3 women perform a 2-dimensional target tracking in a simulated environment. Their EEG (Electroencephalography) signals from visual cortex are recorded and P300 components are extracted and evaluated to perform a real...

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...
