  • Abstract
    This paper proposes the implementation of an EEG application as an adaptive treatment strategy for improving control and comfort for use of upper limb prosthetic. This element is an important object of study around the world, in order to present brainwaves as a way of control. This technology demonstrates efficient way for improving adaptations for upper limb patients using direct connection between brain and the computer. This work presents the development of new prototype using brain computer interface in architecture based on layers events´ oriented associated to acquisition of EEG signals using sockets to integrate a Virtual Reality environment for rehabilitation.
