A method and apparatus for operating a video game, controlling the cursor position on a computer display, and controlling the operation of equipment and devices using electro-oculogram and electro-myogram signals resulting from eye movement and muscle contractions in the human body. Operator (10) wears sensor assembly (12) which is connected to control processor (18). Movement of the eyes produces electro-oculogram signals which control processor (18) detects and converts into separate control signals representing upward movement, downward movement, movement to the left and movement to the right. Muscle contractions produce electro-myogram signals which control processor (18) detects and converts into control signals. The control signals are interfaced with equipment (22) which is a computer or video game having a display (24), or other apparatus to be controlled. The electro-oculogram control signals are used to control cursor position on a video game or a computer, while the electro-myogram signals are used to simulate the operation of a switch or "fire control" button. The functions of a "joystick", "mouse", "track ball" and the like are thereby replicated by the method and apparatus disclosed herein. <IMAGE> |
