Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of brain-controlled wheelchairs, and specifically to a system and a wheelchair based on brain wave control. Background Art

[0002] Brain control technology, also known as brain-computer interface technology, is a technology that collects, processes and analyzes signals generated by the human brain to achieve information exchange and control between the human brain and external devices. Brain control technology collects the user's brain signals (such as brain waves) and inputs them into a computer for real-time processing to mine information that reflects the human brain's intentions. This information is then converted into control instructions for real-time control of external devices. The control effect of the external device is fed back to the user, who can adjust the brain control strategy based on this feedback to further improve control efficiency. In this process, the human brain plays the role of a "commander", and the "commands" issued are implicit in the brain signals, which are interpreted by the computer.

[0003] Due to the mobility difficulties of many disabled and elderly people in today's society, the vast majority of people use wheelchairs for their daily lives. The many inconveniences in the mechanical operation of ordinary wheelchairs bring tremendous pressure to their lives and spirits. Among them, people with mobility difficulties: those with clear brains, semi-paralysis or full body paralysis, unable to move, walk, and even unable to take care of themselves, are prone to sudden death, and must be taken care of by relatives, which brings serious life burdens to their families and themselves. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a system and a wheelchair based on brain wave control to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

On the contrary, the smaller the λ is, the weaker the regularization effect is and the more complex the model is.

[0027] |β j |: indicates β j This is the key part of L1 regularization, which makes the unimportant EEG signal feature coefficients tend to 0, thereby realizing EEG signal feature selection.

[0028] Preferably, during the fitting process of the Lasso regression model, the model fitting error is determined by calculating the mean absolute error to evaluate the fitting effect of the model;

[0029] The mean absolute error is expressed as follows:

[0063] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] Example

[0065] like Figure 1 , 2, 3, and 4, including a BCI module 10, a control module 20, and a device terminal 30, the BCI module 10 includes an electroencephalogram collector 11, an electroencephalogram signal acquisition unit 12, and an electroencephalogram signal transmission unit 13; the BCI module 10 is used to collect, record, and analyze electroencephalogram signals, and transmit real-time data to the control module 20; the electroencephalogram signal acquisition unit 12 is used to collect task electroencephalogram signals of the brain of a user sitting on a wheelchair body 31, and transmit them to the brain-like chip 21 in real time through the electroencephalogram signal transmission unit 13;

[0066] During the acquisition and processing of the EEG signal acquisition unit 12, the Lasso regression model is used to select the EEG signal features by introducing the regularization term to reduce the redundant EEG signal features; the task EEG signal is mainly generated by the user's brain activity and brain imagination. The task EEG signal mainly includes the following four types:

[0067] Task 1: The EEG signal generated by the user imagining the wheelchair moving forward;

[0068] Task 2: The EEG signal generated by the user imagining the wheelchair turning left;

[0069] Task 3: The EEG signal generated by the user imagining the wheelchair turning to the right;

[0070] Task 4: EEG signals generated by the user imagining the wheelchair stopping and moving;

[0071] The specific formula of the Lasso regression model is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] in,

[0074] n: is the number of samples of EEG signal features;

[0075] p: is the number of EEG signal features;

[0076] y i : is the response variable of the i-th sample of the EEG signal feature;

[0077] x ij : is the jth eigenvalue of the i-th sample of the EEG signal feature;

[0078] β0: is the intercept term;

[0079] β j : is the coefficient of the jth feature of the EEG signal;

[0080] λ is a regularization parameter, which is used to control the strength of regularization. The larger the λ is, the stronger the regularization effect is and the simpler the model is. On the contrary, the smaller the λ is, the weaker the regularization effect is and the more complex the model is.

[0081] |β j |: indicates β j The absolute value of is the key part of L1 regularization, which makes the unimportant EEG signal feature coefficients tend to 0, thereby realizing EEG signal feature selection;

[0082] During the fitting process of the Lasso regression model, the mean absolute error (MAE) is calculated to determine the model fitting error and evaluate the model fitting effect.

[0083] The mean absolute error MAE is shown as follows:

[0084]

[0085] in,

[0086] n: is the number of EEG signal feature samples,

[0087] y i : is the true value of the i-th sample of the EEG signal feature;

[0088] is the predicted value of the i-th sample of the EEG signal feature;

[0089] The smaller the MAE, the more accurate the model prediction is, that is, the smaller the difference between the predicted value and the actual value is.

[0090] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the specification parameters of the brain-like chip 21 in the control module 20 of the brain-controlled wheelchair are: brain-like multi-core architecture, computer storage one, CNN / SN, high-performance processor, MIPI&TFT-LCD&LVDS, 28nm process, tens of millions of neural prominence, easy expansion at scale, support for up to 4.6 million neurons, mimetic computing, programmable dynamics simulation solution, support for asynchronous sparse computing, chiplet-based four-core Internet architecture, self-developed low-latency inter-chip extended communication technology, multiple computing precisions: FP32 / NT16 / INT8, energy efficiency exceeds 500 times of CPU / GPU;

[0091] The BCI module 10 is disposed at the position of the headrest in the wheelchair body 31 to facilitate the collection, recording and analysis of the user's EEG signals;

[0092] In the screening process, in order to avoid the interference of EEG signals of non-collection tasks in the acquisition of multi-channel EEG signals and affect the subsequent precise control of the wheelchair body 31, the Lasso regression model is cited. By introducing the L1 regularization term, the unimportant feature coefficients tend to 0, thereby realizing feature selection and filtering unnecessary collection and recording information, which greatly facilitates the extraction and classification of the subsequent control module 20; and by calculating the mean absolute error MAE, the model fitting error is judged, the model fitting effect is evaluated, and excessive filtering is further avoided to exclude effective EEG signals;

[0093] Among them, the main tasks are to obtain: the EEG signals generated when the user imagines the wheelchair moving forward; Task 2: the EEG signals generated when the user imagines the wheelchair turning left; Task 3: the EEG signals generated when the user imagines the wheelchair turning right; Task 4: the EEG signals generated when the user imagines the wheelchair stopping and moving.

[0095] The EEG signal feature extraction unit 22 receives the screened and recorded task EEG signals sent by the EEG signal transmission unit 13 in real time, and classifies the feature signals, i.e., the four task EEG signals, through the EEG signal feature classification unit 23, and accurately matches the four task EEG signals with the action instructions of the wheelchair body 31;

[0096] The task EEG signals are classified and matched with action instructions through the brain-like chip 21 as follows:

[0097] Type 1 signal: The EEG signal generated by the user's imagination of the wheelchair moving forward matches the wheelchair moving forward;

[0098] Type II signal: The EEG signal generated by the user imagining the wheelchair turning left matches the wheelchair moving a certain distance to the left;

[0100] Four types of signals: The EEG signal generated by the user's imagination of the wheelchair stopping and moving matches the wheelchair stopping;

[0101] The first wheelchair peripheral 32 is a visual sensor, and the second wheelchair peripheral 33 is a laser radar; the first wheelchair peripheral 32 and the second wheelchair peripheral 33 are connected to the host computer IPC electrical signal;

[0102] The first wheelchair peripheral 32 and the second wheelchair peripheral 33 jointly formulate and generate a wheelchair stop motion signal;

[0103] When the visual sensor and lidar detect that there are no obstacles ahead, the host computer IPC normally executes the generated signals of types 1 to 4;

[0104] When the visual sensor and the laser radar detect an obstacle ahead, the host computer IPC preferentially executes the first wheelchair peripheral 32 and the second wheelchair peripheral 33 to jointly generate a wheelchair stop motion signal.

[0105] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the brain-like chip 21 receives the signal sent by the BCI module 10, it extracts and classifies the signal:

[0106] Type 1 signal: The EEG signal generated by the user's imagination of the wheelchair moving forward matches the wheelchair moving forward;

[0108] The third type of signal: The EEG signal generated by the user's imagination of the wheelchair turning to the right matches the wheelchair moving a certain distance to the right;

[0109] Four types of signals: The EEG signal generated by the user's imagination of the wheelchair stopping and moving matches the wheelchair stopping;

[0114] When the visual sensor and lidar detect that there are no obstacles ahead, the host computer IPC normally executes the generated signals of types 1 to 4;

[0115] When the visual sensor and lidar detect an obstacle ahead, a real-time signal is sent to the host computer IPC. The host computer IPC receives the signal and generates a wheelchair stop movement instruction, which has the highest priority.
