Robot chair control using an asynchronous brain machine interface

Robot chair control using an asynchronous brain machine interface (ABMI) based on motor imagery requires sufficient subject training. This paper proposes a generalized a brain machine interface design to investigate the feasibility of real-time robot chair control by trained subjects. Performance of the real-time experiments conducted for asynchronous navigation is assessed based on completion of a navigation protocol. The performances of the ABMI and its constraints are discussed.
