Moving objects with your brain by concentrating? What most would consider the act of a Jedi Master is now commonly referred to by scientists as Brain Computer Technology (BCT). BCT sounds more like the stuff from the mind of George Lucas and less like a tool that can be used to increase student learning, gauge student retention of information, and increase student achievement. But the future is here!
We’ve long known the power of the brain but what if we move brain power to the next level. Stanley Yang, CEO of NeuroSky, Inc. will introduce that latest cutting edge technology, Brain Computer (BCI) Technology. Explore ways to stretch the brain’s ability to make learning happen. It can be a valuable tool for education and transform the world and education as we know it today. The possibilities for learning applications are just beginning to emerge and seem to be endless. Watch out BCT will be comming soon to a school near you!
BCI Technology has been in the medical field for a number of years, helping patients who suffer from debilitating diseases, such as Locked In Syndrome & Cerebral Palsy, to communicate with the world around them. Leveraging cutting edge science and engineering NeuroSky has created ThinkGear a cost effective, user friendly, technology that can be benefit a number of industries including education, toys, video games, health and wellness, etc. ThinkGear monitors the wearer’s brain waves, processes the analog information to digital signals and outputs them as commands to a device, such as computers or game consuls.
At T+L this October in Denver, the Technology Leadership Network has secured Stanley Yang to delivery a luncheon address to share the current applications of BCT and the future transformational possibilities for education. Visit the T+L website to learn more and register. Don’t miss out! Come discover the possibilities and cutting edge technologies that will transform the world as we know it.
Whether you are a fan of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hans Solo, or Luke Skywalker…may the force be with you as you experience BCT and get to test your Jedi technique at T+L!
