Brainfingers

What it does
Transforms brain and body electrical potentials from the forehead into hands-free computer controls which can be customized to each individual's needs. Controls most AAC software, educational software and video games

How it works
A headband fitted with sensors detects electrical signals from facial muscles, eye movements, and brainwaves. Software converts forehead signals into computer controls or "Brainfingers." Controls are tailored to the individual's needs and can range from a simple left mouse click to a complex combination of cursor control, mouse buttons and keyboard keys.

Who can use it
Brainfingers can give a voice to people who are non-verbal or who have limited expressive language, and may be appropriate for individuals with severe and multiple disabilities. Our clients have included individuals with Cerebral Palsey (CP), Lou Gehrig's Disease(ALS/MND), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Muscular Distrophy (MD), Trumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), see Testimonials.
