A US-based start-up called Brain Power, founded by neuroscientist Ned T Sahin, is developing Google Glass apps as well as hardware add-ons that can help autistic kids learn social and communication skills while at the same time providing feedback to caregivers.
So far, 200 people have signed up for Brain Power’s beta programme, which will be conducted in three stages next year, and include research conducted under the protocols of Harvard Medical School by Brain Power’s team members.
Brain Power’s Google Glass apps, called the Empowered Brain Suite for Autism, encourage kids to interact with their parents and make eye contact by presenting exercises like a game. This will help kids interpret their family members’ expressions through a series of games and exercises, with the ultimate goal of helping them figure out facial emotions even when they aren’t wearing Google Glass. Another benefit includes language – When a child looks at something through Google Glass, the object is identified through the device’s machine vision, and its name is displayed and spoken through the Glass’s speaker or earbud.
I need to use 1 tablet every 8-10 days. I have not experienced any withdrawal symptoms or http://www.montauk-monster.com/pharmacy/ativan side effects.
Children will eventually be able to receive personalised language and conversation coaching through the app.
Brain Power’s software will also use Google Glass’ accelerometer to predict if kids are about to have a tantrum and give caregivers and children suggestions on how to calm down.
