Read the full research overview

Chris S. Crawford at The University of Alabama, studies brain-computer interfaces and human-robot interaction. The team combines neurophysiological sensing, software engineering, and robotics to explore how technology can respond to a person’s cognitive state. Projects include Brains and Blocks for creating neurofeedback applications, brain-controlled drone racing, EEG signal processing with bci.js, and NeuroBrush for interactive art. Collaborative research also explores RF sensing for sign language recognition. Computing education connects this work with hands-on learning about physiological interfaces.
