coming february 12th! Beyond Boundaries: How Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Transforming Possibilities for Kids
Dr. Christine Daigle is a child and adolescent clinical neuropsychologist and clinical psychologist whose work includes brain-computer interface, translating brain signals into commands to control technology.
She's been doing children's psychology for 17 years, specializing in developmental disabilities, autism, learning challenges, and mental health.
Key points.
💥 Conditions that affect your brain also affect your life.
💥 What is Brain Computer Interface or BCI?
💥 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.
💥 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.
💥 Research is now being done in classroom environments with tremendous potential for independence, play, socialization, and inclusion.
💥 Anything that can be done with a switch adaptor can be done with a BCI. Communication is beginning to be researched with great potential using headsets.
💥 A current research study is underway. Can the headsets work in classrooms with noise, distraction, and movement? They are working in the current trials.
💥 What are the challenges?
