O'Reilly 9781449311544 Make A Mind-ControlLED Arduino Robot

Tero Karvinen, Kimmo Karvinen, 2011, 98 pages.

This book guides the user through the building of a simple and fun robot that will respond to electrical activity in the brain. Using Arduino and basic mechanical building skills the book will show how to construct a robot that will play sounds, blink lights and react to signals from an electroencephalography (EEG) headband. The book includes complete instructions for building a robot chassis that has servos, wheels, sensors, LEDs and a speaker. Also provided is the code required to program the Arduino microcontroller to receive wireless signals from the EEG equipment.

• Use Your Brain as a Remote
