Abstract
This article describes the design and development of a low-cost eye tracking-based brain-computer interface system for the rehabilitation of the completely locked-in patient having an intact ocular motor control to serve as an alternative means of communication (Abu-Faraj, Mashaalany, Bou Sleiman, Heneine, & Katergi, 2006). The developed system has been designed according to the following criteria: low cost, low processing power, simplicity of operation, little training requirements, minimal disturbance to the patient, and ease of customization to any mother tongue.
