TESOL2 - Communicating via Brain Computer Interface
- The advancement in educational technology that will allow individuals to effortlessly communicate.
- A new paradigm for
linguistic teachers, teaching,
and learning, through
human-computer symbiosis.
TESOL2 is accomplishable using a brain-computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain-machine interface, and is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. BCI implants in humans now exist, designed to restore damaged hearing, sight, and movement. The similarity throughout the research is the remarkable cortical plasticity of the brain, which often adapts to BCIs, treating prostheses controlled by implants as natural limbs. With current and future advances in technology, scientist could now conceivably produce BCIs that would translate speech for second language communication, acquisition, or treatment of disease where an individual requires the regeneration of speech.
