AI-powered wheelchair uses Transformer EEG model for advanced BCI control

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel AI-powered Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system for wheelchair control, utilizing electroencephalogram (EEG) data from motor imagery. The system, named TFormerEEG, employs a Transformer-based deep learning architecture to classify right-hand and left-hand movements, achieving a test accuracy of 93.04%. This approach demonstrated a mean accuracy of 91.18% through cross-validation, outperforming baseline models like XGBoost and EEGNet. A Tkinter-based interface simulates wheelchair navigation based on these classified movements. AI

IMPACT This research advances the capabilities of AI-driven BCIs, potentially improving assistive technologies for individuals with mobility impairments.
