A feasibility study of BCI based FES model for differently abled people

Abstract

This paper aims to present a new way of providing functional rehabilitation to paralyzed upper extremity patient using Brain Computer Interface technology. In this we use Brain wave mobile which consists of only two electrode, pre frontal electrode and reference electrode placed on ear lobe, to acquire the electroencephalography (EEG) signal. The acquired signal is transferred via Bluetooth to low end device. Recordings are read into MATAB where signal processing algorithms are implemented. The extracted 100% accurate control signal fires the nerves by generating biphasic current impulse through functional electrical stimulator (FES) placed on the impaired limb for the motion.
