1.INTRODUCTION What is a Brain-Computer Interface? A brain-computer interface uses electrophysiological signals to control remote devices. Most current BCIs are not invasive. They consist of electrodes applied to the scalp of an individual or worn in an electrode cap such as the one shown in 1-1 (Left). These electrodes pick up the brain’s electrical activity (at the microvolt level) and carry it into amplifiers such as the ones shown in 1-1 (Right). These amplifiers amplify the signal

Prior to starting the Trinity TEFL course‚ I had little teaching experience in a classroom environment and only in my own language. I had little knowledge of the teaching techniques and methodology used to teach a foreign language and having to put theory into practice almost from day one seemed quite daunting. From one lesson to another I learnt different type of technique used in the classroom: using flashcards‚ elicit vocabulary‚ concept checking throughout‚ encouraging pair work and group

Brain Based Learning For many years science and education have concentrated on learning and the mind‚ but today’s neuroscientists and educators are seeing learning from a different scope – the brain. From this viewpoint‚ learning is creating links – by linking the information in which the student has prior knowledge or interest‚ the student is able to expand upon this and learn something else which he can relate it to. For example‚ in a history class when discussing Native Americans‚ a teacher
