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.
