In this episode of The New Era of Engineering, host Brian Doherty is joined by Solène Le Bars, Scientific Leader for the Future of Healthcare Program at Capgemini Engineering, to explore the cutting-edge world of brain/computer interfaces (BCIs) and their transformative potential in healthcare.
Solène introduces a groundbreaking approach that combines virtual reality (VR), eye-tracking, and electroencephalography (EEG) to help patients regain lost visual awareness and cognitive function. By using Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) to monitor attention and awareness, this innovative system allows users to interact with a virtual environment using only their gaze—turning therapy into an engaging, game-like experience.
The episode also highlights a pilot project involving a VR game set in a wild, immersive world, where patients track animals to stimulate neglected areas of their visual field. The results are promising, and the future of BCI technology looks even more exciting, with potential applications across medical rehabilitation and beyond.
A must-listen for anyone curious about the future of neurotechnology and patient-centered innovation.
