Marquette – A free workshop on the current and future applications of non-invasive and invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces will be offered on Friday, October 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the University Center at Northern Michigan University.
Presentations will be offered by Northern Michigan University’s psychology department and g.tec Guger Technologies Austria.
Research groups worldwide have been working on BCIs, which provide a direct connection from the human brain to a computer. BCIs translate brain activity into control signals for a number of applications, including tools to help severely disabled users communicate and improve their quality of life. They have been used to restore movement, assess cognitive function and provide communication and environmental control.
Advance registration is required because space is limited. Contact Michaela Pichler at pichler@gtec.at or the NMU psychology department at 227-2935.
