Abstract

This paper describes the work that has been carried out so far to establish viable, practical, low equipment and low computation cost system of a wider Electroencephalogram-Surface Electromyogram (EEG-SEMG) based control system for disabled users. The system consists of the user required to perform mental tasks for our system to achieve 4 states of switching which is picked up through the EEG sensors. The system will then use this as a trigger in order to help the disabled user operate everyday equipment (e.g. electrical appliances, operate wheel chair, or personal computer). The system is designed to be compact and low cost as it is intended that the system can be worn on the patient or carried around in the wheelchair. The setup of the equipment, the process of the experiments, the types of mental tasks that the user will be required to perform, signal processing and corresponding trigger output commands that are generated will be described.
