E-book Retrieval and Reading System Based on Brain-Computer Interface

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a real-time Brain-computer interface(BCI) system that ena bles paralyzed patients to read e-books on the website autonomously according to their intentio ns. The system uses EMOTIV EPOC+ to acquire the user's electroencephalography(EEG) sign als and decodes them to analyze the user's real intention when reading e-books on the website, i ncluding selecting and reading operations. The system uses the VRPN communication protocol to transmit the EEG data processing results to the PC to realize the corresponding operations o n the web page. To verify its performance, we have carried out experiment on 5 subjects. And t he result shows that after short-term training, the accuracy of the system can reach more than 9 0%.
