Eye Blink Pattern Controlled System Using Wearable EEG Headband

Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a scientific way to detect the brainwaves, these signals are generated by means of the interactions of the human brain. These signals are at the minuscule level of micro-electrical voltage. In recent years there is increasing trend for wearable EEG technology. These devices can actively help individuals to conquer anxiety and rise concentration levels. Biofeedback is the method of having better cognizance about how the human body functions by controlling mind conditions. By undertaking so, a human can acquire the technique of how to control the body and brain at will. A few decades old research-grade EEG acquisition techniques are much bulkier and impose skilled support during the research. Such experimental tools are big, overpriced, and operated by people who are aware of how to use it. In recent years due to the thrust of wearable EEG technology, anyone can perform the similar activities by means of easy to wear, low-priced and easy to use wearable devices. Even though, outcomes and research scenarios in the wearable EEG field are not yet fully explored. Here, we introduce a methodology for eye blink pattern-controlled system with the help of wearable EEG devices offered in the consumer market. This method can be applied to control many systems as like as home appliances, robots, wheelchair, etc. with the help of EEG signals captured at the scalp for proposed eyeblink pattern-controlled system.
