Development Of A Compact, Low-Cost Wireless Device For Biopotential Acquisition, Graham Kelly Jan 2014

Development Of A Compact, Low-Cost Wireless Device For Biopotential Acquisition, Graham Kelly

Theses and Dissertations

A low-cost circuit board design is presented, which in one embodiment is smaller than a credit card, for biopotential (EMG, ECG, or EEG) data acquisition, with a focus on EEG for brain-computer interface applications. The device combines signal conditioning, low-noise and high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion of biopotentials, user motion detection via accelerometer and gyroscope, user-programmable digital pre-processing, and data transmission via Bluetooth communications. The full development of the device to date is presented, spanning three embodiments. The device is presented both as a functional data acquisition system and as a template for further development based on its publicly-available schematics and computer-aided …


Design And Implementation Of An Eye Blink Controlled Human Computer Interface, Poonam Gwalani Apr 2011

Design And Implementation Of An Eye Blink Controlled Human Computer Interface, Poonam Gwalani

Theses and Dissertations

Advances in Human Computer Interface (HCI) have made this area of research important for improving the standard of living for people with disabilities. An eye blink system is presented to allow people with disabilities to control a standard computer mouse. This system is designed for people who are paralytic with no control over their arms, speech, and anyone who is restricted to only the control of eye and head movements. This system is based on infrared reflectivity to capture and analyze real time eye blink signal of the user. It uses simple economical hardware electronics to emulate the functionality of …
