Satellite Television Remote Control System Based on Brain-Computer Interface

This paper presents the satellite television remote control system based on brain-computer interface. The Brain Controlled Satellite Television Remote System (BCSTRS) is a real time system that can help the patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) to select TV channels or adjust volume using their brain waves. In this paper we propose an algorithm including data acquisition and process, feature extraction, pattern recognition and SVM classifier. Experiments demonstrated that the BCSTRS is able to achieve an averaged information transfer rate of approximately 18 b/min and 5 healthy subjects can control the BCSTRS efficiently with an average accuracy of 90%.
