Mind Drone Chasing Using EEG-based Brain Computer Interface

In this paper, we present a new way of controlling drone by using a P300-based brain-computer interface that supports the military field as assistive technology. The main idea is that the drone can be controlled by the soldier’s brain activity using electroencephalogram (EEG) to chase other drones and discover hidden enemy areas. We assumed that we have two able-bodied users, the first role played by a user as a soldier aims to control the drone by using brain activity and the other role played by another user as an enemy aims to control manually the drone using Python program. This scenario allowed us to test the ability of chasing the enemy’s drone. The results for this application was evaluated by the ability of the user to calibrate very well with the software and the ability of the program to receive and send commands using EEG signal to the drone for execution.
