The brainwave remote control device mainly includes a remote control device body, an acquisition module connected to the remote control device body, a filter module, a motion sensor module, a signal processing module and a Bluetooth module arranged inside the remote control device body. The acquisition module includes an elastic support arm and an EEG sensor probe installed at the end of the elastic support arm. The contact on the EEG sensor probe fits the user's scalp to collect brainwave signals. The elastic support arm is used to increase the extrusion of the elastic structure to make the contact fit tightly against the user's scalp.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Specific examples are given below.
[0019] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, a non-invasive brain wave remote control device includes a remote control device body 11, on which a plurality of hollow elastic arms 12 are installed, and an electroencephalogram sensor probe 13 is installed at the end of the elastic arm 12.
