Neuroscience and Brain-Computer Interfaces: How Libraries Can Use the Technology with Chad Mairn
April 5 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm CDT
Neuroscience is the study of the brain and how it works. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow people to communicate with computers and other devices using brainwaves. BCI technology is impressive and can be used to help people with disabilities access library resources and also control devices like drones.
In this webinar:
- Understand the basics of neuroscience and BCIs;
- Learn about the latest developments in BCI technology;
- Explore how BCIs can treat neurological disorders and help people with disabilities; and
- Discuss how libraries can use BCI technology to improve the user experience.
Chad Mairn is a librarian, teacher, author, and self-described geek who frequently shares his enthusiasm for “all-things technology” as a speaker at library and technology conferences. He is an Information Services Librarian, Assistant Professor, and manages the Innovation Lab at St. Petersburg College. Much of Chad’s recent interests have focused around mobile and emerging technologies. Chad has written a couple of book chapters and numerous articles on library technologies.
