Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a mobile computing device from an electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring headset, an incoming wireless communication signal including an EEG data stream. The method may further include processing, by an application running on the mobile computing device, the received EEG data stream to determine at least one actionable command for at least one peripheral device. The method may also include transmitting, by the mobile computing device to the at least one peripheral device, at least one outgoing wireless communication signal including the at least one determined actionable command.
Claims19
A mobile computing device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to execute instructions from one or more modules, the one or more modules comprising:
- an EEG signal reading module configured to receive an incoming communication signal comprising an EEG data stream;
- an external device control module configured to:
- determine at least one actionable command;
- transmit a first communication signal to a robotic device based on the at least one actionable command to cause active operation of the robotic device;
- and
- transmit a second communication signal to a sensory feedback device to cause the sensory feedback device to provide tactile feedback during operation of the robotic device;
- a feedback receiving module;
- and
- an avatar generation module, and
- a display.
A system comprising:
- an EEG monitoring headset;
- a robotic device;
- a sensory feedback device;
- a mobile computing device comprising:
- a processor in communication with the EEG monitoring headset, the robotic device, and the sensory feedback device, the processor configured to:
- determine an actionable command based on EEG data received from the EEG monitoring headset;
- transmit a first signal to the robotic device to cause active operation of the robotic device;
- and
- transmit a second signal to the sensory feedback device to cause the sensory feedback device to provide tactile feedback during operation of the robotic device;
- and
- a display.
