Construction of simple communication method by use of neuro-biological signals

Many persons suffer from severe disabilities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by neurological disorders. Such kinds of disabilities bring various restrictions to communication and circumstance in their daily life. A simple communication method using neuro-biological signal will be effective and helpful to enhance their life quality. In this study, a simple on-off communication method using electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) was proposed. In case of EEG, parameters for linear regressive equation were selected by AIC. The results showed that the accuracy was extremely high with both communication methods.
