An Approach Towards Brain Controlled System Using EEG Headband and Eye Blink Pattern

Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique to capture the brainwaves, which are generated due to the activities of the human brain on the scale of micro-electrical voltage. In recent times there is growing demand for wearable EEG technology, which helps people to suppress anxiety and increase concentration. Traditional research-grade EEG recording techniques are bulky and require skillful assistance during experimentation. Such experimental kits are typically big, costly, and handled by people who are trained on how to use them. Since the introduction of wearable EEG technology, one can record the similar activity by means of easy-to-use, inexpensive and much smaller wearable devices. Although, benefits and research opportunities in wearable EEG technology are yet to be fully discovered. It's helping society to monitor health and fitness with ease, where one can see and interact with the body in innovative and exciting ways. Still, a lot of people are unaware of wearable EEG technology benefits and usage. Here, we discuss an approach to a brain-controlled system using wearable EEG technology devices available in the market. This approach can be implemented to control various systems such as wheelchair, robots, home appliances, etc. with the help of brainwaves which are generated on eye blink.
