Abstract
The paper considers the emergence of the field of controlling robots using EEG signals. It looks back to the first result in the field, achieved in 1988. From a viewpoint of EEG driven control, it was the first result in controlling a physical object using EEG signals. The paper gives details of the development of the research infrastructure which enabled such a result, including description of the lab setup and algorithms. The paper also gives a description of the scientific context in which the result was achieved by giving a short overview of the first ten papers in the field of EEG driven control.
