Best paper award: A cutting-edge brain-computer interface (BCI) network that leverages the sensor output of a low cost electroencephalogram (EEG) headband to detect specific eye and head movements, enabling intelligent wheelchair navigation. Using a hybrid CNN-LSTM architecture, our method achieves high accuracy classification of these movements while maintaining low inference time on the complete EEG signal. To validate our approach, we conducted a comprehensive experimental evaluation

Abstract

We report on the development of a cutting-edge brain-computer interface (BCI) network that leverages the sensor output of a low cost electroencephalogram (EEG) headband to detect specific eye and head movements, enabling intelligent wheelchair navigation. Using a hybrid CNN-LSTM architecture, our method achieves high accuracy classification of these movements while maintaining low inference time on the complete EEG signal. To validate our approach, we conducted a comprehensive experimental evaluation
