Brain-controlled finite state machine for wheelchair navigation

Published: 13 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This proposal is about a brain-controlled electrically powered wheelchair. The system comprises a brain-computer interface based on steady-state visual evoked potentials and a processing unit relying on a finite state machine (FSM). Results of first simulation experiments comparing two different FSMs are presented.
