This week, I worked on implementing user events using Pydispatch and created a listener class that binds to the events (ex. double blink and left/right winking). Even though I had created a certain mapping between an event and action last week, I modified it slightly this week during our testing. I made a single blink map to a normal “click,” a left wink map to a “left” movement of keys, and a right wink map to a “right” movement of keys on the keyboard. Because we are still figuring out how to connect the EMG with our interface but have our EEG signals mostly figured out, I made those changes to ensure that our EEG actions work and connect with the interface. I also added Siri as a button on the keyboard, which is one of our features we plan on including.
I am back on schedule and this coming week, I plan on adding more features into our keyboard and looking into ways I can shift our interface from solely being a keyboard to a plug-in or something accessible from a web browser.
