BEACON (Bridging Ethics, Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Neurotechnology) project.
Summary
In this study participants are invited to try a consumer-grade EEG (electroencephalogram) headset that is designed for people to see and monitor their own brainwaves. This device is called a brain-computer interface (BCI). We are interested to learn what participants think about the use of such devices for educational purposes.
Participants will be supervised at all times while wearing the EEG headset and will be asked a number of interview questions. The entire experience should take about an hour of your time.
