Project Overview

We are building an add-on for electric wheelchairs that translates imagined motion (motor imagery) into movement

By developing an add-on that can sit on top of most electric wheelchair joysticks instead of working with direct wiring of a specific wheelchair model, we aim to make our solution more accessible and customizable.

Learn more about our research on our EEG‑wheelchair page.

Our team spans two complementary subteams:

• The hardware team builds the physical add‑on that mounts on the joystick and interfaces with the wheelchair electronics. [add details later]
• The software team works on building ML models to discern the user's imagined motion in real time, and bridging the ML model's output to the add-on's firmware, so that the wheelchair actually moves according to the user's intentions.
