Abstract

A relative simple approach based on the computation of the area of a parametric curve produced by the 2D space representation of a set of parametric experimental functions defined by the signals of only two active EEG electrodes of a low cost neuroheadset (Emotiv EPOC) is proposed on this paper for the fast recognition of eye winks activity as control commands. This approach together with the use of the signals from the gyroscope available in the EPOC device, allowed the development of a Head-Computer Interface that enables complete interaction with a robotic arm. The results obtained indicate that the proposed approach is effective for detecting the eye-wink commands with a good rate of accuracy (over 93%).
