    Abstract: Embodiments of a system for controlling an object using brainwaves are disclosed. The system includes a set of EEG electrodes configured to be positioned on a head of a user and to collect EEG signals. The system further includes one or more computer readable storage mediums storing a framework configured to execute an extensible architecture through which EEG signals are interpreted for control of the object. The framework includes an EEG device plugin associated with the set of EEG electrodes and configured to extract the EEG signals from the set of EEG electrodes. The framework also includes an interpreter plugin configured to convert the EEG signals extracted by the EEG device plugin into a command. Further, the framework includes an object control plugin configured to access the command through an extension point of the interpreter plugin and to execute the command to control the object.
