Abstract :
The discrete electrooculographic control system (DECS) has been developed as a communication tool for persons with severe handicaps. The system can be used as a means of adaptive control allowing persons with handicaps, especially those with only eye-motor coordination, to live more independent lives. Initial information about the design and capability of the DECS is provided.
