Abstract
This paper presents significantly facilitated ways of controlling an electric wheelchair using the power of the human brain for persons getting motor neuron disease (MND) and the difference in efficiency and accuracy between. The proposed BCI was developed in .NET framework which uses NeuroSky Mindwave’s single dry electrode as the only way of communication with the interface. BCI developed in .NET framework shows the direction control of wheelchair in all four directions: left, right, forward, and backwards. The results of the proposed BCI in controlling the wheelchair are promising, and the advantages are compared to some existing BCI wheelchair systems. The application of the proposed BCI systems would significantly help people with motor disabilities to have an improved style of living with more autonomy.
