| Brain-Computer Interaction |
As scientists and researchers continue to reveal the mysteries of the brain, their progress has opened the door to the exciting new field of Brain-Computer Interaction technologies (BCIs). In a BCI, brain activity is recorded in real-time and rapidly translated to provide new information and new functionality to its user. To date, applications of BCIs can be found in prosthetics, rehabilitation and therapy, occupational safety, and even in gaming and entertainment; however, this is only the tip of the iceberg as new applications are constantly being investigated and developed. While the future of BCIs looks bright, many challenges still face emerging BCI technologies. These include improving the technologies used to record brain signals as well as improving the ways those signals are analyzed and interpreted. Finding solutions to these puzzles is a primary focus of this field and the keys to translating a century of neuroscience research into new tools and technologies that improve everyday life. In this week-long session, we will discuss the current state of the art and future potential for neurotechnologies and BCI. We will also introduce students to basic electroencephalography (EEG).
