Students Explore Hands-free Computer Interactions

IGERT Fellow Jenny Borders explores the use of Brainfingers as an alternative to standard computer interfaces (e.g., keyboard or mouse). Due to a birth defect Jenny has limited use of her hands. With the Brainfingers interface Jenny is able to move a cursor and select keys using EMG signals picked up at her forehead.
