Robot Control Using Anticipatory Brain Potentials

Recently Biomedical Engineering showed advances in using brain potentials for control of physical devices, in particular, robots. This paper is focused on controlling robots using anticipatory brain potentials. An oscillatory brain potential generated in the CNV Flip-Flop Paradigm is used to trigger sequence of robot behaviors. Experimental illustration is given in which two robotic arms, driven by a brain expectancy potential oscillation, cooperatively solve the well known problem of Towers of Hanoi.
