Abstract

This work presents the development of a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) based on Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP), that enables a user to control a remote control car. The visual stimulus conditions of area, frequency, and shape were evaluated with the purpose of obtaining the SSVEP signal with the highest amplitude in order to obtain the best performance of the developed BCI. A remote control car was built and was controlled by a healthy subject using the developed SSVEP BCI, proving its proper functionality. This BCI has the purpose of helping people with motor disabilities; one of its possible applications could be the control of wheelchairs.
