Design and Implementation of EEG Based Home Appliance Control System

Abstract

This paper represents the design and implementation of the Home Appliance control system using the Human brain wave. Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) technology is followed for developing the system. Neurosky Mindwave Mobile 2 headset is used for collecting the desired brain data. This headset collects brain data and sends the data wirelessly to the main PCB circuit board using a Bluetooth module. The headset gives the output of attention level and number of eye blink based on EEG waves. According to the attention level and eye blinks, the system controlled Light, Fan, TV, Buzzer. This system has two controlling modes with four different attention levels. In the first mode, the system can control light, fan, television, and buzzer. In this mode, the user can only power on or Power off these Appliances. Whereas in the second mode, the system can control television volume and channel. This system is mainly designed to help Physically Challenged People who can not move their body parts and are incompetent in speaking. Simplicity in design architecture and cost-effectiveness makes this system very much applicable in real-life usage.
