Abstract

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI for its acronym in English) is a device that allow the communication between a user and adapted environment. The Ambient Assisted Living (AAL for its acronym in English) can be potentially used to assist people with some motor disability. In this article, we show the low-cost system development that permit an actuator control through commercial EEG signal acquisition, detecting a flickering. The system is also tested to evaluate its feasibility with an offline analysis in Matlab. The experiments and results are shown.
