BCI - Brain Computer Interfaces - are devices that capture
human brainwave activity, in various range of frequencies,
from relaxed to focused to alarmed. The reinterpretation
of collected data allows the creation of triggers that put in
motion various digital content, like interactive
applications, games, artistic and scientific simulations.

The goal of the interdisciplinary course BCI in Action is

to harness the creative potential offered by Brain
Computer Interfaces in its available consumer electronic
version of EEG headset technology, for development of
innovative interactive concepts.

Students acquire the knowledge for conception and

development of personal EEG triggered projects. At the
end of the course, prototypes could be elaborated.

sleep disorders, tumors and the effects of a
head injury or determine whether a coma
patient has become brain dead.
