EOG-based mouse control for people with quadriplegia

Abstract

In this paper, I introduce a new low cost mouse controlling system using electro-oculography (EOG) signal with high accuracy and reliability for people with quadriplegia using a new fast processing method. Here, the signal processing is done using MATLAB interfaced with Arduino, which reduces the cost of the implemented system. EOG at first is processed using a specialized circuit, which passes the filtered signal to Arduino that is connected to the computer using USB. Further processing, done using MATLAB and using specific code that I made, the new method of movement and blink detection can be used as a control click the mouse and to control the mouse on the screen in all directions, i.e., up, down, left, right, and diagonal.
