Abstract/Description:
For many years people have consider the possibility that brain activity might provide a new channel for communication between a person's brain and the external world. Brain Computer Interface allows humans to control electronic devices using only their thoughts. The goal of this project is to provide the users with a basic control of a prosthetic arm using the signal acquired by an Electroencephalogram (EEG). The main objective of the research is to demonstrate and provide a system that allows individuals to obtain control of the device with very little training and very few electrodes. The research includes the development of an elaborate signal-processing algorithm that uses an Artificial Neural Network to determine the intentions of the user and their translation into commands to operate the prosthetic arm.
