Accessing the early years: An SEN perspective

Emma Dyer, previously a nursery manager, works with the charity MOVE, to support children who have physical disabilities to develop their movement opportunities via education. Here Emma discusses the importance of making early years settings more accessible for children with disabilities and ways in which this can be supported.

Brain Controlled Wheelchair using EEG Headset

In this paper, a brain controlled wheelchair has been designed which tends to reduce the complexity of movement for paralyzed people who are not capable of using various wheelchairs operating on technologies like joystick, finger movement or gesture controlled due to disability of moving body parts. The entire model is centrally based on Brain-computer Interface (BCI) combined with Raspberry Pi 3 and EEG sensor headset capture signals based on Neurosky mindwave technology which are further processed using MATLAB. Despite of the physical disabilities, this model will help quadriplegic patients to assist on their own and feel independent. Keywords: EEG, BCI, Matlab, Raspberry Pi, Neurosignal, NeuroSkyTechnology.
