Abstract

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) have gained increasing attention in recent years due to the improved afford-ability and usability of electroencephalogram headsets (EEG). These headsets paired with the right software make computers usable without a physical input such as the traditional mouse and keyboard, creating new opportunities for users with motor impairments. In this paper, we present the design and development of an assistive application that employs an EEG headset (Unicorn Hybrid Black) as the main control interface for user interaction. The system integrates a launcher style interface that contains multiple accessible functions, allowing users to interact with software environments exclusively through EEG–based commands. This work aims to advance digital accessibility and promote independence for people who cannot rely on conventional input devices. By outlining a practical approach for integrating EEG headsets into everyday computer use, this paper contributes to the ongoing development of assistive technologies.
