Abstract

Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder is considered a mental disease that affects a significant number of the world’s youth population. Brain-computer interfaces have been used to study and treat this mental disease. In this paper, we present the current state of unmanned aerial vehicles controlled by mental commands. We hope this study can be useful to guide future research focused to develop brain-computer interfaces able of controlling unmanned aerial vehicles for therapeutic purposes.
