Design of an EEG-Based Brain Controlled Wheelchair for Quadriplegic Patients

In this paper, an EEG-based brain controlled wheelchair has been designed using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) with the help of NeuroSky Mind Wave EEG Headset. Quadriplegic patients can not move any organ of their body below their necks. Implementation of this device will assist the quadriplegic patients to move independently on their own. The movement of the wheelchair is controlled by variation of attention level of the patient. Turning on or off this device is controlled by double eye blink of the patient. Graphics based fuzzy image has been added in the design of the wheelchair for assisting the patients varying their attention levels if needed.
