Performance analysis of brain-computer interfaces in aerial drone

Published: 29 March 2018 Publication History

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to find efficient methods to utilize brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in conjunction with aerial drones. The study investigates how effective the EPOC+ is by challenging users of diverse genders and ages to complete tasks using mental commands and facial expressions to control a Parrot AR-Drone 2.0. After a calibration phase, the designed experiments were conducted using randomly selected participants (n=20). Preliminary analysis of the collected data indicated that there was no significant difference between the rating of difficulty before and after, between the mental and facial commands. Furthermore, this study showed that from group of participants more individuals had greater difficulty controlling the mental and facial commands than they originally expected.
