Special Education & Communication Disorders AAC Translation Lab

Nick visits the AAC Translation Lab, where he discusses AAC technology with Kevin Pitt and follows students through the AAC testing process. An emerging AAC technology focuses on providing brain-controlled access to AAC devices. Non-invasive brain computer interfaces (BCIs) use electroencephalography to unlock AAC access by linking an individual's brain activity to communication device control. While BCI technology is expanding in laboratory settings, transition into clinical practice is impeded by numerous barriers, including a lack of consistency between BCI research and existing AAC practices.
