ROBOTIC ARM CONTROL WITH BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE USING P300 AND SSVEP

摘要

The objective of brain computer interfaces (BCI) is to createa novel communication channel between the user andthe outside world. Thus a person can interact with its surroundingusing the electrical activity of the brain only. Inthis study, dual EEG activity is used successfully to controla 5 degree of freedom robotic arm. P300 event related potential(ERP) is used to select between 5 servo motors whileSteady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) are usedto move the chosen motor in opposite directions. Finally,a camera pointed at the robotic arm is used for providingvisual feedback about the position of the robotic arm.
