Conceptualized and built an electro-oculograph, a device capable of detecting the shifting electric field between a user’s eyes. The apparatus was then paired with MATLAB and a NXT bot to achieve movement in the robot when the user’s eyes were shifted through different angles. I (far right in video) was in charge of developing the source code for the robot, interfacing this with MATLAB, and constructing the amplification and filtering analog circuit.

Eric (pictured far left) directs his eyes left and right, producing voltage spikes in the electrodes affixed to his face. These voltages are induced by the rapid shifting of the retina-cornea dipole, causing an changing, induced electric field. This field is filtered, amplified, and used to drive the motions of a NXT bot, programmed via MATLAB.
