Integrating a Brain Control Interface towards the Development of a Retrofitted, Low-Cost, Open Sourced, Electric Wheelchair

The Emotiv Insight is a commercially available, low-cost, mobile EEG device that is commonly overshadowed by its costlier counterpart, the Emotiv EPOC. The purpose of this report is to investigate if the Emotiv Insight is a suitable headset to be used as a controlling factor in conjunction with an Arduino microcontroller and various electrical components that are used towards the development of an open-sourced, affordable electric wheelchair with the primary goal of providing those who either do not have the financial resources or the physical capability to operate a traditional wheelchair due to their disability a viable option to improve their quality of life. All of the C++ code, STL files used to fabricate the 3d-printed components are uploaded to a GitHub repository as open sourced files to allow individuals with access to a 3d-printer to either build the open sourced wheelchair for their personal use, or refine the design to suit their needs.
