Computer Science 250-BCI Brain-Computer Interaction.
This is a seminar course exploring new forms of human-computer interaction
based on measurement of brain function and properties.
Students will read research papers in several related disciplines
and present and discuss them in the seminar.
We will explore the use of
brain sensing technologies to detect
specific forms of brain activity,
with a focus on
functional near-infrared spectroscopy work at Tufts.
We will then explore ways to use such measurements
as input to new forms of lightweight, adaptable
user interfaces.
Prerequisite: Background in one or more of:
human-computer interaction, psychology, cognitive science, or brain measurement
techniques; or permission of instructor.
