Abstract
This study attempts to support further research into the development of practical and inexpensive non-invasive brain-computer interface systems for the control of prosthetic devices, especially electric wheelchairs. With motivations from literature, the steady state visual evoked potential is reasoned to be the neurological mechanism for a proposed modular-based BCI system. Selected papers on surveys of BCI research and BCI designs are mentioned. Available acquisition hardware for BCI-interfaces, with particular attention to non-invasive electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition, are presented with a selection of articles reporting their use. In conclusion, some suggestions for further study towards practical BCI systems are made.
