Intro to BCI session 1

What is the most common type of BCI?

• Electrooculography (EOG)

• MEG (magnetoencephalography)

• MRT (magnetic resonance tomography)

• EEG (electroencephalography)

What is a benefit of EEG systems?

• EEGs can determine where abnormal brain activity is.

• EEGs do not require surgery.

• EEGs can stimulate specific brain cells.

• EEGs have high spatial resolution.

What is an example of a current BCI medical application?

This course will provide a non-technical, broad overview of the field of neurotechnology.

• True

• False

By the end of the course, students will be able to...

• Perform surgery to implant brain-computer interfaces

• Define neurotechnology

• Learn of the applications and use-cases (from medical to recreational)

• Write and publish their own scientific article regarding BCI research

By the end of the course, students will be able to...

• Understand who does or will use neurotechnology

• Learn about many different types of brain interfaces and how they work

• Name every brain structure that is responsible for human cognition

• Build their own implantable BCI

By the end of the course, students will be able to...

• Gain a basic neuroscience understanding through a neurotechnologist lens

• Design the next-best brain-computer interface all by themselves

• Order an Uber only by using their brain

• Engage in ethical questions related to the field's transhumanist philosophy

By the end of the course, students will be able to...

• Hear Jarvis in their head

• Learn about current companies and businesses within the field

• Get access to resources to further learn about, or start, their neurotechnology journey

• Design software necessary for BCI signal processing

Lecture videos will provide an in-depth understanding of all topics covered.
