Resumen:
The development of assistive technologies is very important with regard to life.
of people with disabilities. In implementing these technologies the
The goal is to provide or extend functional skills for people with special needs.
Assistive technologies promote more independent living, social inclusion and improved
quality of life of the people mentioned.
Despite efforts to promote the inclusion of disabled people in society,
limited resources available to enable communication between people
people with severe motor disabilities and the world. In this context, the Computer Brain Interface
(ICC) is a recent technology that allows direct communication between the brain of
a person and the devices available in their environment. Systems
ICC enable people with severe motor disabilities to control the aforementioned devices
through your brain activities.
ICC is a recent technology, but quite promising. Nevertheless, there are still some
difficulties encountered for ICC systems to be applied on a day to day basis.

system accuracy, speed and mobility. Most ICC systems are applications
for desktop, being mainly employed in clinical research.
The development of systems that integrate ICC, mobile devices and pervasive services,
In addition to enabling people with severe motor disabilities to control devices,
also provides mobility for these people, allowing interaction between them and their

This paper introduces an architecture for the development of pervasive ICC systems.

A pervasive ICC system was also implemented to validate the architecture introduced.
In the development of the system, an EEG equipment was implemented.
