As part of Aggies Create, our team is developing a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) targeted toward individuals with mobility issues including full/partial body paralysis and quadriplegia. Currently, common driver control systems on wheelchairs include joystick control, head-neck-chin control, and sip-and-puff control, which requires users to blow and suck on a straw-like contraption to maneuver. Many of these control systems are cumbersome and not viable for patients with certain conditions. We seek to change that with our BCI. Our team aims to build a prototype headset that enables users to control the movement of an e-wheelchair through their brainwaves rather than physical commands. Check back later to see our progress!
