Development of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) for person with disabilities to control their wheelchair using brain waves along with health monitoring system
Abstract
Humanity’s endeavor to learn the way the human brain works has been exponentially
fastened through the means of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology. It has helped in
mapping different electrical activities in the brain to different actions thus giving us a
simplistic view of understanding human thoughts. Interacting with electric and mechanical
systems utilizing such technology is one of its practical applications. This project is an
amalgamation of the aforementioned BCI coupled with a motor driver to drive a wheelchair.
It additionally provides features to ensure the safety of the patients during movement, and to
monitor a patient’s health data remotely through the usage of a mobile application.
