Chapter 8 Conclusions and Future Work
8.2 Future Work
The future research will focus on:
a) Improving the speed of the system
b) Applying the system to different physical applications like guiding wheelchair or controlling a robot arm.
c) Study the effect of using different types of spatial filters
d) Study the effect of using different classifiers like support vector machine (SVM) on the system performance.
e) Automation as in the developed system the user can’t control to switch ON and turn OFF the system automatically using his/her EEG signals therefore, this would be a good point for future research.
f) Testing the system on physically impaired subjects will be necessary to compare the system performance with real life disability conditions.
