Abstract:
    A Simulator Game that is to be controlled using decoded EEG signals, to be used for people with paralysis, so that they can train on a simulator before going for the Physical Wheelchair.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    These days modern technology allows people with paralysis to communicate some way again, like say control a wheelchair using EEG signals. However they should have to train on a simulator before going for physical devices. Our project will allow them to do that.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   People with severe disabilities need it so that they can train with the headset on a simulation.
How will the solution works
    Our project will use ML techniques to decode EEG signals into classes based on the actions that produced the signals. The decoded part will be a vector, encoding the solution in 'one-hot' format. That vector will be used as a control signal for our wheelchair agent in the simulator game. The game will act as a simulator for the wheelchair movement, and will be according to the Physics of the motion of the wheelchair.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Multiple research papers have been written on this topic. Our project is unique in the sense that the ML algorithm and DSP pre-processing combination is unique, along with the fact that we are using a well-known game engine, Unity, which allows good graphics and Physics simulations, with 3 controls.
