This study introduces a real-time electro-encephalogram (EEG) system for hands-free wheelchair control. The system accurately interprets mental commands using a neural network, enabling intuitive device operation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional assistive technologies often require physical interaction, posing challenges for individuals with severe motor impairments.
  • Developing intuitive and non-invasive control methods for assistive devices is crucial for enhancing user independence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a real-time electro-encephalogram (EEG) identification system for hands-free control of a powered wheelchair.
  • To assess the system's accuracy and response time in classifying user mental commands.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a ProComp+ encoder to amplify and digitize EEG signals from two scalp electrodes (O(1) and C(4)).
  • Implemented a real-time multilayer neural network for classifying EEG patterns corresponding to mental commands.

  • Transferred digitized EEG data to a host computer via an RS232 interface for processing.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated a rapid response, detecting changes in user thought patterns within 1 second.
    • Achieved a classification accuracy exceeding 79% for three distinct mental commands (forward, left, right).
    • Successfully enabled control of a powered wheelchair using only two EEG electrodes.

    Conclusions:

    • Real-time EEG analysis with neural networks offers a viable solution for hands-free control of assistive devices.
    • The developed system shows significant potential for improving mobility and independence for individuals with disabilities.
    • Further research can explore expanding the command set and improving accuracy for more complex interactions.
