NEU 505: Brain-Computer Interaction

Department
Credits 3.0

This course will explore the current state of brain sensing and its application to human-computer interaction research. This course covers brain function, sensing technology, machine learning methods, and applications of brain-computer interfaces in various domains. This course aims for students to (1) obtain the background to conduct research in brain-computer interaction and human-computer interaction; (2) understand the literature in the field of brain sensing for human-computer interaction research; (2) understand the various tools used in brain sensing, with a focus on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) research; (3) understand the steps required to use real-time brain sensing data as input to an interactive system; (4) understand the domains and contexts in which brain-computer interfaces may be effective; (5) understand the open questions and challenges in brain-computer interaction research today.
