Abstract
In order to implement a computer application that will be driven by commands provided by a brain-computer interface, a change in the control approach is necessary. In this paper we discuss the brain potentials used in the brain-computer interfaces in terms of their usefulness for controlling different types of applications. Our primary goal is to propose a simple control approach based on a motor imagery strategy and to present an example of a real computer application (an e-book reader) that applies this approach.
