Mind Controlled Universal TV Remote Control
2016
The main goal of this work is to combine our previous efforts in the analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) signals and translate some mental commands into a universal TV remote control signals.The suggested system uses EEG signals as a communication path between brains (using a wireless EEG headset) and TVs (using remote controls).The Daubechies orthogonal wavelets were applied to analyze the signal records obtained from the PhysioNet EEG dataset then different amplitude estimators for the wavelet coefficients were selected to extract many features.The extracted features were normalized and used as inputs for Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Neural Networks (NNs) to generate the needed decision rules.The proposed real time implementation of the system is presented and the testing results showed excellent performance.It is believed that this system could be helpful for disabled people as they can control their televisions via mental commands.
