Although today we have a lot of products related to the augmentative and alternative communication, it was in the last ’80s when a variety of switches and others peripherals emerging to help elderly or disable people with special communication needs to interact with computers.

Even if it is only a “technogadget”, several days ago, when the Mind Flex (Mattel) was presented in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, I remembered the long way from first interaction devices to brain waves recognition.

Of course this game has nothing to do with the advances in both invasive and non invasive brain-computer interfaces, which belong to a succeeded research field, the neuroprosthetics, but it is telling us something about the general public acceptance of that kind of technologies.

Yeah! I´m expecting your next posts about the augmentative communication. I know very little about this method of communication but I´m very interested on the interaction process, especially when we are living in the touchscreen world now.
