Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) are an emerging access technology. Non-invasive sensors worn on the head detect intentional brain activity patterns. The BCI converts the brain activity patterns into commands to control devices. Unlike switches or eye gaze, BCI does not rely on physical movements.
The Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) Program is a clinical and research program. It serves both children and adults. The program connects patients with BCI to achieve functional goals and enable participation. Patients use BCI to control:
- Toys
- Video games
- Smart home devices
- Power wheelchairs
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) units
Clinical services include:
- Exploratory sessions
- Assessment
- Consultation
- Training
- Group sessions.
Patients may be invited to take part in research.
