Brain Signal Processing - Wheelchair

  • Camilo Aguilar


    The objective of this project was to design a low-cost brain-controlled (EEG) wheelchair which will provide mobility to people who have experienced spinal cord injuries, were born unable to move, or have been permanently paralyzed



    We obtained a low-cost wheelchair from The Free Wheelchair Mission, located in Irvine, California. In addition, we obtained an Emotiv Epoch, a low-cost EEG device designed for commercial purposes. The Emotiv Epoch captures EEG signals from 16 channels located in specific regions of the brain. In addition, the Emotiv Epoch can also capture EMG signals created by muscle contraction or expansion.
