Abstract
This paper presents a switch strategy to control the movement of a Brain-Controlled Wheelchair. After the activation of a Motor Imagery task, an advance movement is started and kept until the same task stop it. This way, users with an unstable control of their EEG could be aided in handling the wheelchair.
