  • Abstract:
  • The proposed paper presents a low-cost Electrooculography (EOG)-based cursor control system developed to assist ALS and paralyzed patients in interacting with computers using eye movements. Surface electrodes are used to acquire eye-movement signals, which are amplified and conditioned using an AD8232 biopotential amplifier. An ESP32 microcontroller performs real-time signal acquisition and processing, and the detected commands are transmitted to a computer through wired serial communication. A Python-based interface converts these commands into cursor movements. The system is independent of lighting conditions, requires minimal calibration, and demonstrates reliable performance. The proposed solution offers a simple, economical, and effective approach for hands-free human–computer interaction.
