Background:

Nonmanual human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are crucial for restoring mobility in severely paralyzed individuals.
Existing HMIs face challenges in rapidly and accurately generating diverse control commands for wheelchairs.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel electrooculogram (EOG) based HMI for effective wheelchair control.
To enhance mobility and independence for individuals with severe paralysis.

Main Methods:

A graphical user interface with 13 flashing buttons, each representing a command.
Users select commands by synchronizing eye blinks with button flashes.
An algorithm detects vertical EOG signals to identify target button selections.

Main Results:

Achieved high accuracy: 96.7% for healthy subjects and 91.7% for spinal cord injury patients.
Demonstrated a satisfactory response time of 3.53s/3.67s with zero false positive rates.
The system effectively generates sufficient commands with a single EOG channel.

Conclusions:

The proposed EOG-based HMI offers an accurate and responsive nonmanual control solution for wheelchairs.
This novel HMI surpasses existing EOG-based systems in command generation, accuracy, and electrode efficiency.
