EEG-controlled Wheelchair for ALS Patients

In this study we try to explore the new channel of communication i.e. building a brain computer interface (BCI). The aim of this BCI is to provide solutions to facilitate and increase interaction between an ALS patient and his environment, using the strategies, techniques, and technologies most suitable to meet the user´s needs for communication. We try to build an EEG-based BCI to help ALS patients with lack of focused attention perform their everyday activities in a less dependent manner. The next goal will be to enable them to move their wheelchair in the direction they want or to guide them to their destination.
