1. Mind Control of Systems
Designing a system to measure brain waves in order to obtain commands to control the direction of a remote-control car By
Gary Obenski
& Jim Bradbury

2. Primary Goals
Determine an efficient way to obtain brain wave signals from human subject
Determine a way to change different wave patterns to commands such as ‘left’ and ‘right’

3. Electroencephalography
Science of recoding electric currents produced by human brain
Discovered by Hans Berger in late 1920’s

4. Brain waves Arise from cerebral cortex
Byproduct of normal brain function
Millions of pyramidal cells produce small currents as the nerve impulses change

5. Four types of waves
Alpha
Beta
Delta
Theta

6. Similar experiments
Mind control by rats
US Air Force flight simulator

7. Biofeedback Alternative method to try to interpret brain wave signals
Trains individual to learn how to produce specific frequencies

8. Where to go now…
Acquire the means to harness EEG waves (Integration of Amplifier and Filter)
Interpret signal as “1’s” and “0’s”
Condition subject to consistently produce desired signal
Interface EEG waveform to computer software
Change the world!!!
