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.Ā
She's been doing children's psychology for 17 years, specializing in developmental disabilities, autism, learning challenges, and mental health.
Key points.
š„ Conditions that affect your brain also affect your life.
š„ What is Brain Computer Interface or BCI?
š„ 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.
š„ 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.
š„ Research is now being done in classroom environments with tremendous potential for independence, play, socialization, and inclusion.
š„ 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.
š„ A current research study is underway. Can the headsets work in classrooms with noise, distraction, and movement? They are working in the current trials.
š„ What are the challenges?
