Final Year Project

Project Title

Arm Control Using EGG Signals

Description

The project aims to tackle the problem of people who are either amputated or suffer from any other physical disability including paralysis. Our program allows such users to move their limbs inside a simulator which is based on what they are thinking. By capturing their brain signals we can successfully predict motions and movements and then translate them to movement of their virtual hands. The aim of this software has always been to provide meaningful experience to people to those who do not want to deal with the cost and risk of surgery. It also gives an option to those people who want to go for surgery but due to restrictions the surgery would not succeed.
