EEG control of an electric wheelchair for disabled persons

This paper presents a description of an intelligent control method for controlling an electric wheelchair for several disabled persons. It also describes a non invasive approach based on EEG brain signal that can command the wheelchair with cognitive data, eye movements and head gestures. Our technique aim is to cover the largest number of handicapped person.
