Abstract

Developed a 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network model and trained to translate electroencephalography (EEG) signals into drone commands. Using a 16-channel EEG headset at a 125 Hz sampling rate raw data was collected and further processed for feature extraction and training of the model to control drone movements using commands, backward, forward, left, right, land, and takeoff based on the classification of brain wave patterns. The developed model was trained on raw EEG dataset of 2,498,750 entries and achieved an accuracy of 99.27%. Though the model performed well in classifying the brain wave patterns, based on commands, it struggled slightly in differentiating 'Takeoff' and 'Forward' commands because of the non-uniform size of the dataset.
