EEG and Eye-Tracking Control of Android
A 2016 student group project on controlling a whole Android device with an EEG headset and eye tracking, for people with severe motor disabilities.
A group project from 2016 at the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics, Gdańsk University of Technology. It targets people with severe physical disabilities but full intellectual capacity. We first planned a multimedia application controlled with an EEG headset and eye tracking. Because Android is open, we could instead connect both devices to the platform itself and control any app, not just one.
In the video I write an e-mail in Gmail after a short EEG training session. I trained a “push” mental command, which the system turned into a click or touch. The project head and my one co-participant was Aleksandra Nabożny.
Learning a mental command turned out to be fairly easy, and it seemed possible to reach fluent control with more practice. That impression needs proper testing, which we did not manage to do. The project was left half-finished.
