Key points. πŸ’₯ Conditions that affect your brain also affect your life.

πŸ’₯ What is Brain Computer Interface or BCI?

πŸ’₯ Noninvasive headsets are being researched for children with neuromotor disorders, most of who are nonverbal. Children who have limited motor capabilities learn to use something in their environment.

πŸ’₯ Imagine a child at home or in school making a character in a video game jump with their thoughts! With a few sessions of 20 minutes of training, students can turn their lights on and off, turn the pages of a virtual book, start and stop a motorized wheelchair, and more.

πŸ’₯ Research is now being done in classroom environments with tremendous potential for independence, play, socialization, and inclusion.

Communication is beginning to be researched with great potential using headsets. πŸ’₯ A current research study is underway. Can the headsets work in classrooms with noise, distraction, and movement?
