Controlling robotic arm via brainwaves

This paper discusses controlling a robotic clamp via brainwaves. This is achieved by using a neurosky headset, labVIEW software and arduino UNO boards. Mainly, the concept that is being followed to provoke the brainwaves is the SSVEP concept. By introducing LEDs with different frequencies to the subject, the brainwaves vary according to which frequency the subject is looking at, those brainwaves are being detected, denoised, checked for the peaks at the desired frequencies and thus, the position of the clamp would vary accordingly.
