Mind and Machine: Brain- Computer Interface?
This video provides an overview of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. As we introduce this game-changing technology, we will briefly examine two different research articles that demonstrate the ability to help vulnerable populations. To have a holistic point of view of the subject at hand, the video provides limitations that require more attention from
researchers.
This video was made by McMaster University students Fares Qannam, Lena Kahn, Kevin Tan, and Eden Ryley in collaboration with the Demystifying Medicine McMaster Program.
