Control of a humanoid robot via N200 potentials

In this paper, we present a N200 model for control of a humanoid robot with mind. N200 is a major component of the motion visual evoked potential (mVEP) which can be used to detect the subject´s intention. In order to acquire N200, we design a visual stimulus interface in which the activation of a stimulus is a bar scanning above the image of a humanoid robot behavior. By analyzing brain signals induced by this kind of stimulus and calculating some system indexes, the results of this study demonstrate that the designed interface can induce prominent N200 potentials, and another component P300 induced by this experiment can be considered as another characteristic of the feature vector to contribute to the classification. To our best knowledge, this paper would be the first report on an application of N200 model to control a humanoid robot with visual feedback in real time.
