Abstract: The proposedwork helps in improving the quality of life for the specially abled and old-aged people.Providing them appropriate attention at the proper time is one the most important roleand it is our dutyas a responsible member of the society. Controlling a mechanical wheel chair on their own is not possible for the specially abled and old-aged people, which many of them generally use for theirmovement. Hence there is a need for designing a wheelchair that is intelligent, efficient and provides easy movement. In this context, an attempt is done to present a mind controlled wheelchair usingEEG signals captured from the brain and eye blink. Signals are inturnprocessed to control the movement of wheelchair. For capturing the EEG(Electroencephalography) signals,brainwave headgear is used which is placed on the user's scalp. EEG signals are acquired and converted into digital commands by the Arduino microcontroller.This commands helps in the movement of wheelchair in the forward, backward, left and right directions.
