🧠💬 Could Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) support the communication of children with autism who could possibly use touch-based AAC? Check out our new forum article opening up the conversation! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Happy to share a *FREE* link to our new paper discussing picture symbol #motion in supporting communication for children who use #AAC 🧠tandfonline.com/eprint/TWEMD5Z…

Motion is getting increasing attention for #AAC and #augcomm! Happy to share our recent paper looking at animation use in 🧠-computer interface for kids, and thoughts for current AAC. If you are interested in a PhD in this area, let me know! 💡#BCI tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations!

@CiaraOusley @BhanaNaima @DrSarahCox I like it! I’ll add it to the list! 😀

@BhanaNaima @DrSarahCox A4. Hear me out… but what if we used Brain Computer Interface (BCI) to understand the reactions in the brain during the intervention? Understanding happy, sad, mad, arousal of the child/person. I may have been spending too much time talking to @KevinPitt147 🤔 #SCRDChat
