For listeners who may be unfamiliar with this field, what does the interaction actually look like in practice for children living with complex neurological disabilities? And how close are we to seeing BCIs become part of everyday life rather than within the research environment?

Great.

Thanks, Seth.

So there's a couple of questions in there.

So I'll start with sort of what a BCI is or a brain-computer interface is, especially for those who might not be familiar with it.

And then I'll answer sort of what that looks like for kids and kids living with complex needs.

I do end up talking quite a bit about what BCIs are not because sometimes people hear about this and they get a little bit worried or anxious thinking, oh, you can read my mind or read my thoughts.

So why has pediatric participation historically been overlooked in research? And what changes when systems are intentionally designed around children of different ages, developmental stages, and abilities?
