Background:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer potential for assistive technologies.
Motor imagery (MI) based BCIs require effective training protocols for practical application.
Robotic wheelchairs can enhance mobility for individuals with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simple, self-paced, motor imagery-based BCI for robotic wheelchair control.
To propose an innovative control protocol for a 2-class self-paced BCI system.
To facilitate user training through a simulated robot navigation environment.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a self-paced, 2-class motor imagery BCI.
Development of a novel control protocol for wheelchair navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Creation of a simulated robot navigation environment for online user training.
Application of the BCI system to control a real robotic wheelchair.

Main Results:

Demonstrated the effectiveness of online practice in a simulated scenario for BCI training.
Showcased the successful application of the self-paced BCI for controlling a robotic wheelchair.
Validated the proposed control protocol for seamless transition from training to online control.
Indicated that a simple 2-class self-paced system is sufficient with the novel protocol.

Conclusions:

The developed self-paced BCI system and control protocol are effective for robotic wheelchair control.
Simulated training environments significantly improve the transition from offline to online BCI control.
The system allows for user-friendly control with minimal training, broadening accessibility to BCI-assisted mobility.
