Presentation
Robot toy control via blinking
In the lower graph demonstrated only 1/8 of the upper graph from the right side after The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
1. Demonstration - the EEG signal (upper graph) converted to a Fourier series (lower graph). We can see in the lower graph for various frequency ranges, dependence amplitudes from the frequency of blinking (5 Hz and 3 Hz)
2. We set the threshold to the amplitude and connected two diodes. If the amplitude (lower graph) at a frequency of 1-3 Hz becomes more than the threshold, then the upper LED will light up.
If the amplitude (lower graph) at a frequency of 3-5 Hz becomes more than the threshold, then the lower LED will light up.
3. Everything is the same, but instead of diodes, we connected output discrete signals to the toy radio control panel and controlled the mouse (ahead, back).
Instead of a toy mouse, you can connect whatever you want.
Everybody can do this device for free himself, all needed sources available on my GitHub
